In partnership with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, New Milton Sand and Ballast have launched their Green BEE competition, which will give entrants the chance to win £1,000 to run their own environmental project for the local area.
Open to children under the age of 14, the competition invites participants to put forward a proposal for a project that can be implemented locally, using the £1,000 prize money.
The ‘Green BEE’ Environmental Competition was launched 20 years ago, and was created to help raise awareness about the importance of the natural world amongst children in the community. The organisers are encouraging entrants to focus on creating places that feel fresher, healthier and wilder, to support both people and nature.
The Green BEE competition will have three winning categories; primary school, secondary school and community groups, with each category being awarded £1,000 toward their plans. Children can work in small groups or as a class.
Applications to enter the competition should be submitted by the 31st January 2023 (and no later than Friday 3rd February). However, full project submissions are not required until Friday 31st March 2023. Submissions must be sent electronically, and can include drawings, photos, and text. Winners will be announced after the Easter holidays, via email.
