National Geographic Society Slingshot Challenge: The National Geographic Society is officially back for Year 2 of the Slingshot Challenge, where youth from around the world can share their ideas for "slingshotting" our planet forward! They are challenging 13-18-year olds to create a one-minute video sharing their solutions to our current environmental problems. A selection of entries will be eligible to receive funding for up to $10,000. Participation is free of charge. They are accepting submissions until February 1, 2024. They are also offering a series of virtual support sessions for students to meet with National Geographic Explorers to ask questions and workshop their ideas and challenge solutions.
