Secondary Schools

 

For schools, there are two ways to enter the awards, either by conducting an environmental project or by entering the art competition.

Projects

Schools are encouraged to incorporate the project into their curriculum.  The scope of the Dr Edward Hall Environmental Awards provides linkages to the Essential Learnings curriculum.

Any project that has contributed to the health of our environment can be entered.  Projects can range from wates and recycling, energy, water, building design, alternative transport, landscaping and Paper and Purchasing.  If your school is unsure which theme to chose for 2009, the topic of sustainable living is encouraged.

It is asked that the following questions are answered within your project entry:

  • What is the environmental issue?
  • What are the objectives of the project?
  • What does the project involve (implementation)?
  • What are the outcomes of the project?

Projects will be assessed on the strengths of the responses to these criteria.

Attach any supporting documentation such as photographs, videos, posters, displays, artworks, audio tapes, diagrams or newspaper articles.

The project does not necessarily have to have a direct physical benefit to the environment.  It could, for example, be the collection and collation of data that could aid further research that would in turn benefit the environment. 

The winning school will receive a certificate and a cheque for $1500.  The runner up will receive a certificate and a cheque for $750. 

Closing date for all submissions is 25 September 2009.

Information Kits and Entry Forms are available here.

This year, the winner of the art competition will  have their design produced as a fridge magnet which will be distributed to Hobart residents.

The theme of the competition is Sustaining your local neighbourhood.  Design a message to assist people to understand sustainable living practices. 

Submit your artwork entry to the size of 200mm x 200mm.  Large, bold and simple designs work best.  The design needs to be easily read when scaled down.
