Nationwide Inter-School Competition
Organize a cleanup and create a poster, and you could win resources for your school to the value of 50,000 rupees.
New for 2018 is a National Inter-School Competition. Schools will compete by organizing a cleanup campaign in their school and creating a poster. The cleanup must occur in August and September. Schools must submit a cleanup report and a poster by 30 September 2018 | 14 Ashwin 2075.
The cleanup organised by the schools should ensure:
The poster must illustrate a waste management activity or highlight the cleanup efforts of the school and/ or showcase waste burning and illegal dumping as harmful and life-threatening practices. It must be created by one child or a group of children attending the school.
The winning school will receive resources to the value of 50,000 rupees and a framed certificate. All participants will receive a certificate of participation signed by the Australian Embassy in Nepal and Clean up Nepal.
When do we have to do this by?
Make sure you submit your entry on time as late submissions will not be accepted.
What will you be assessed on?
The level of collaboration with the community groups will be the key assessment criteria.
In order to compete, you are required to hold a clean up and create a poster. You will then need to submit a report about your cleanup along with your poster. We are looking for community engagement, the teaching and practice of good waste management, as well as creativity and innovation in your cleanup and poster.
Eligibility Criteria
All schools in Nepal are eligible to enter including government schools, privately-run schools, and community schools.
We are running two categories for the competition.
Elementary
Category 1
High School
Category 2
Requirements for the School Cleanup
What is a Cleanup?
A Cleanup is the involvement of groups of people to collect waste in their local area, which is harmful to the environment. This waste may be litter or the remains of burnt waste. It may also have been dumped illegally. The cleanup should be organized, at the least, within the school compound but ideally somewhere in your local community too.
At the very least, school children and teachers should take part in the cleanup. However, you are likely to perform better in the competition if you can get other community members involved such as parents, youth groups or local organizations. Also, the more cleanups you do, the more chances of winning!
During the cleanup, you must pursue and encourage proper waste management practices and highlight Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle behaviours.
Poster Requirements
Each participating school may submit a maximum of two poster illustrations, with each poster to belong to the Elementary Division and High School Division.
Share with us posters from each of the following divisions in your school:
Elementary
Grade 2 - 6
High School
Grade 7 - 10
The poster you create must be A3 in size. The poster illustration work should incorporate the clean-ups held by the school, and illustrate good waste behaviors adopted by the school.
