Calling all young artists! Enter the “Global Canvas Children’s Art Competition 2019”
If you’re young, arty and concerned about conservation, why not enter this year’s ‘Global Canvas’ contest? Your colourful creation could end up on display at London’s famous Natural History Museum! The annual Global Canvas Children’s Art Competition was set up in 2004 by the Surrey-based David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, to encourage young people to express their concern for wildlife and the environment through art. This year’s theme is ‘Habitats of the World’ and group entries are invited
from children aged 16 years and under. Entrants can use creative media including art, sculpture, textiles, collage etc. to present a mini-exhibition reflecting the competition topic. “This year’s theme is a celebration of all the wonderful and weird places
where animals make their homes - whether that's an ocean, a desert, or even a rotting log!” said DSWF’s Education Manager Jo Elphick. “Global Canvas gives young artists the chance to investigate the threats
faced by wild animals and to their habitats and think about what they can do to help. We encourage an emphasis on wildlife, but all of earth’s fauna and flora may be represented in as creative a way as possible.” Entry to the competition is FREE and the winners will be announced at an
exciting exhibition and ceremony at London’s Natural History Museum – a memorable day for all those shortlisted. Entrants will be vying for first, second and third prizes, as well as a number of special awards.

New BP Ultimate STEM Challenge competition asks students: what would you reimagine?
This year the BP Ultimate STEM Challenge is back and it’s even better! For the first time, BP, in partnership with STEM Learning, is inviting UK students aged 11 to 14 to use their STEM skills to tackle one simple challenge: reimagine a solution to a real-life problem. 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of BP’s investment in STEM
education - since 1968 the company has been helping young people to be more engaged in science and engineering by linking the curriculum to careers and inspiring students to take on the challenges of invention and creativity. This year the Ultimate STEM Challenge is setting the ultimate
challenge to reimagine literally anything using the technology and capability of today. This might be redesigning tools and technology that we have long taken for granted or reinventing something that really could change peoples’ lives for the better. When developing the competition BP spoke to young people about
the problems that they would like to solve, and they came up with lots of ideas from the everyday to the extraordinary. They wanted to improve access to building for wheelchair users,
filter out air pollutants with new technology and even make sure everyone gets their fair share of pizza. Some of these ideas are captured in a new launch video which teachers and STEM Club leaders can use to inspire students to get involved and make their ultimate ideas, designs and solutions a reality. There is also a presentation available with lots of tips and
inspiration to encourage students to come up with ideas, introduce the competition and guide them through the process step-by-step. Whether your idea helps
solve a global problem or makes day-to-day life run a bit smoother for people, BP wants to see a variety of creative ideas and solutions from young people across the UK, so now is your chance to take part!
