Individuals or school groups under 18 years of age are challenged to create a 2-5 minute video that demonstrates what they and their families are doing on-property to improve their rural environment.
Examples could include protecting natural areas, improving water quality or animal welfare, waste reduction or recycling; anything that brings environmental benefits.
Agrecovery General Manager Simon Andrew said the competition aims to highlight some of the great environmental work that is being done rurally, in a fun and informative way.
“We’ve seen participation in Agrecovery grow dramatically over our 10 years of operation. We also know that recycling is only one of the many ways that farmers and growers are addressing sustainability – there is a huge amount being done. This competition gives kids and their parents a chance to be proud of their efforts and share them with their peers and the public.”
Videos must be in by May 31 and entries will be showcased on Agrecovery’s Facebook page until June 18. The public will be able to vote on their favourites.
There are two prize categories; individuals or siblings and school groups, with $1,000 per category up for grabs.
Further details and entry criteria can be viewed at www.agrecovery.co.nz.
