The Geography Teachers Association of 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.
At the end of last year the Young Geographer Award team marked the 2025 nominations with over 100 entries across the categories.
The YGA team would like to thank all teachers that entered their student’s work into the competition and supported them in completing their projects. The standard of entry for 2025 was incredibly high and it was great to see students from across the whole of NSW and ACT engage with geographical inquiry. Here are the winners for 2025 from each category.
Congratulations to them all.
