The competition theme is ‘Going Green' and learners need to interpret this theme by researching and creating projects, using elements according to their specific category brief. There are five different categories, which include Grade 1 to 3, Grade 4 to 7, Grade 8 and 9, Grade 10 to 12, as well as the open category (open to all grades). Each category has a different element such as paper, trash, energy efficiency, ecological footprint and trendy trash.
Final judging of the projects will take place on the 30th of June by a panel of knowledgeable judges, all brand ambassadors for the environment. The first judge, Xolile Mabusela, is the general manager of research and stakeholder liaison from Indalo Yethu. Indalo Yethu will be the sponsors of the 1st place prize money across all categories. Simon Thom, from Eco Monkey will put his expertise regarding recycling and reusing as our second judge. Last but certainly not least is well renound Grace Green from Greenworks - an environmental awareness website that provides tips on how each of us can take steps in the green direction to reduce our impact on the planet.
