While Covid is restricting or preventing soem of the annual youth competions that Rotary run there are several that we can still run. This year Allander is expanding the competitions we are running and making it easier to take part.
Usually these are run in conjunction with schools but not all of our local schools opt to take part. This year, as well as schools, we have written to local youth organisations as well (Scouts, Guides, BB, GB). While competition rules say that entries must be via a school or local youth organisation, we are able, through Milngavie Youth Centre, to enable those whose school or youth organisation have decided not to participate to be able to take part. Winners of the Allander competition go onto our District competition and then, hopefully, a UK competition.
There are three age groups: (age as at 31 August 2020)
Junior: 7 to 10 years old
Intermediate: 11 to 13 years old
Senior: 14 to 17 years old
The competitions and topics that we are running are
Young Photographer (Wild Nature)
Young Artist (Wild Nature)
Young Writer (My Happiest Day)
Young Environmentalist (Climate Change/Carbon Reduction) Note that this is an individual and a group (max 4, Junior & Intermediate only) competition
For more information or any questions contact Allander Rotary by emailing allanderrotary@outlook.com
Entries date extended. Now open until 28th February 2021.
