Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

What topics will be of most interest to geographers 100 years from now, and why?

Anyone thinking of entering this essay competition for Year 12 Geographers? Nice open-ended question, and it would definitely fill a big hole in a personal statement! Plus...£600 prize money! :wink:

I want to! No idea if I'd be able to carve up some time to come up with anything vaguely worthy of entering though. :frown:

It would look pretty fab if you did well though. :colone:

I reckon if you spent a couple of hours a week on it as a change from revision, it would be a breeze! :tongue:
