Jury's comment

This is the fourth year that I have had the honor to be involved in the Eco-Generation Environmental Essay Competition. Coming from Alaska and growing up experiencing every day the value nature brings to our lives, this year's topic was especially close to my heart. The resulting essays relating to nature's value provided a wide array of emotional and logical appeals. Some made you want to cry as they recounted some of our world's issues, but most provided a sense of hope that the young people who wrote them will provide better stewardship to our world and its natural resources than some of the past generations. My parting words to this generation of writers...we are counting on you proving that our hope is well placed.

 

As our Jury mentioned, we received numerous remarkable essays. However, we regret that only a limited number of entries can be chosen as winners. We do appreciate your generous understanding once again.

 

In this year, UN environment selected ONE MORE entry for their UN environment second prize and total of 26 winners were selected out of more than 310 entries from 55 countries.

 

We are so happy to announce the winners of the 10th Eco-generation Environmental Essay Competition as below
