Antarctic Flags Project Competition

Antarctic Flags Project Competition (Geography - 23/01/2024)

This is a cross federation project, you are to design a flag for Antarctica, the winning designs will be sent to Antarctica and a picture taken with an Antarctic scientist!

The project takes place as a celebration of Antarctica Day, which marks the signing of the Antarctic Treaty on December 1st 1959, a document declaring that Antarctica would be off limits to military activity and setting it aside as a place for peace and scientific discoveries. Since 2010, December 1st has been celebrated each year to mark this milestone of peace and to inspire future decisions.

Students are given free reign to design their flags, taking into account the flora, fauna and landscape of Antarctica as well as the flags of the countries which have signed the Antarctic Treaty.
