2019 winners

The 2019 competition gave pupils the chance to explore the potential that geography holds.


Where can geography take you?

Geography plays a crucial role in understanding our world, and is a subject that's constantly adapting to change. It is dynamic and relevant, and provides people with a multitude of opportunities. Whether you've always wanted geography to take you to a particular place, to help you in a particular career or to help you understand one of the many challenges facing our world, we wanted to know where geography can take you.

The competition had four categories: KS2 (pupils aged 7-11), KS3 (pupils aged 11-14), GCSE (pupils aged 14-16) and A Level (pupils aged 16-18). The Society encouraged schools to run their own semi-finals before entering their top-placed entries into the national competition. For more information about where geography can take you, see our section of the website about geography.
