Step 1: Submit entry form - Independent and international schools

Please submit your Young Geographer of the Year entries using the form below. After submission, you will be taken to a page with a link to upload your entries.

Please only use this form if you are from an independent or fee paying international school. If you attend a state funded school, including state funded international schools, please use our alternative form.

Entrants' names and school names must not be written anywhere on submitted entries.

Please do not start to complete this form until you are ready to create a unique submission code and submit your entries using the following file naming system. This is to ensure that all entries remain anonymous throughout the process and speed up the associated admin work.

Submission code:

Last three (3) characters of your school postcode - Submission day - Submission month - Teacher's initials

e.g. 2AR-14-03-GM

Individual file names:

Submission code - Student's initials (use middle name initial too if there are any duplicates) - Key Stage

e.g. 2AR-14-03-GM-HS-KS4

Your unique submission code will have to be entered in the submission form - without it, we will not be able to identify the winners after the selection process.

Entries must be sent as a photo or scan of their posters (please ensure the text on the poster is readable and the full poster is shown) or a version made in Word, PowerPoint or whichever standard programme you wish to use (please ensure the poster is scaled to A3 size and sent as a PDF if possible).
