In 2024, the Society invited you to create a poster to encourage young people to Choose Geography.  We were looking for engaging and inspirational posters that showcased the skills that geographers have that make them stand out from the crowd, as well as highlighting the huge number of jobs and employment sectors that geographers contribute to.
