crcCARE is a group of organisations dedicated to preventing and managing environmental contamination.
The crcCARE High School Essay Competition encourages young minds to delve into pressing environmental issues. It also offers a chance to showcase their talent and win exciting prizes.
Students in Years 7 to 12 are invited to apply in two different categories:
- The Dr Roneal Naidu award - How can innovative technologies help clean up emerging contaminants, such as medicines and micro- or nano-plastics, to protect human health and the environment? ($1000 prize)
- The CRC CARE award - How can packaging be redesigned to facilitate a circular economy, and can Indigenous knowledge help guide modern environmental practices? ($500 prize)
In addition to a cash prize, the winning essay for each category (500 to 1000 words), will receive an expenses-paid trip to Adelaide to attend the CleanUp 2024 Conference Gala Dinner on 17 September 2024.
Entries for this competition are now open and close on Wednesday, 31 July 2024.
