Winners will represent their own regions and must be aged 11-18. As champions they will attend a European fact finding expedition, and meet with senior government and international representatives to talk about climate change, before speaking at special events. The competition is managed by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), who will award each winner £1,000 to organise a climate change themed event at their school, youth group or within their community. The focus for this year's competition is "promoting behavioural change". Using any creative format they choose, entrants will be challenged to submit a news report, documentary or case study. The closing date for entries is 9 November.
