Young Reporters Scotland Winners Announced

Winners of the 2018-2019 Young Reporters Scotland competition have been announced! 

Young Reporters Scotland encourages young people to share their voice on sustainability subjects through film, writing and photography. The initiative provides a platform for participants to investigate and report on the subjects they are passionate about and increase their knowledge and awareness of environmental topics.

Our judging panel worked hard to pick winners from this year's entries.   Overall winners will progress to the International Young Reporters for the Environment competition which brings together entries from 38 countries.  Like our Eco-Schools Scotland programme, Young Reporters is a programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education.
