GTA NSW & ACT Young Geographer Awards

The Young Geographer Awards

The Geography Teachers’ Association of NSW & ACT (GTA NSW/ACT) organises an annual competition for students and schools to foster an enthusiasm for Geography through engagement and rewards. The Young Geographer Awards invites students in NSW and the ACT to demonstrate engagement with Geography, the discipline and with the tools and skills of Geography through the creation and conduct of an inquiry-based research project. Although it is not essential, teachers are encouraged to incorporate the research and construction of the project into their teaching programs to help support students.

Entries are welcome from both members and non-members of GTA NSW/ACT.
