Young people in the Isle of Man are being encouraged to delve into the wonders of the natural world and share their experiences and observations in an exciting competition.
The Young Nature Champion, led by UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, invites youngsters to connect with nature over the next six months and submit pieces of writing, short films or audio recordings of their favourite discoveries.
Winning entries will receive a unique nature experience, tailored to their interests, and lift the specially made Young Nature Champion trophy.

Runners-up will receive MWT gift shop vouchers and there is also a prize of binoculars and a bird guide for the best bird entry.
Graham Makepeace-Warne, MWT’s Head of Engagement, said: “One of our strategic goals is to inspire young people to explore the wonders of nature, fostering a lifelong passion for wildlife.
“The evolution of the competition into encompassing audio and video submissions is truly exciting. As an avid videographer, I anticipate seeing the diverse ways these mediums ignite the creativity of young minds.”
Participants are encouraged to get outside and explore the Biosphere during the spring, summer and autumn and must submit their entries before 1 November.
People must be 21 or under to enter and all the details can be found on the Biosphere website.
