The Royal Geographical Society recognises the outstanding work of the next generation of geographers through its Young Geographer of the Year competition. This is an international award with categories spanning the primary years to A Level, with the competition encouraging young people to think creatively and analytically about geographical themes.
The theme for 2024 was 'Choose Geography', with students tasked with creating striking and informative posters that demonstrate the relevance of geography and how studying it can help you understand the world we live in and the global challenges we face as a society.
With schools hosting their own heats and submitting only their winners, the 1,000 entries received by the Society represented just a fraction of the overall number of participating students.
Zoe was awarded her certificate by Alan Parkinson, the Society’s Vice President for Education, at a ceremony held at the Society on Friday 29th November. Huge congratulations Zoe!
