๐โจ Celebrating the Young Geographers of the Year 2026! ๐๐
As summer draws to a close โ๏ธ, it was wonderful to come together for an evening celebrating the ideas, imagination and geographical curiosity of so many talented young people across Hong Kong! ๐๐บ๏ธ๐
With 600+ entries from schools across the city ๐ซโ๏ธ, this yearโs competition was certainly not an easy one to judge! We were delighted to finally meet so many of our prize winners and celebrate their achievements together ๐๐
A huge thank you to Philip Stephen, our new Director of YGOTY, Faye Cook, Jan H., Stephen O'Sullivan, Lucia Loposova, FHEA and the entire judging panel ๐๐, as well as our RGS-HK Committee members and volunteers ๐ค, for their time, expertise and support.
A special thank you to Victor Paraschiv for continuing to play a leading role behind the scenes, helping to organise and process the huge volume of entries we received this year. ๐๐๐
And of course, thank you to all the teachers and schools who encouraged their students to take part and helped spread the word about YGOTY! ๐ฃ๐ซ
We are also incredibly grateful to Capital Group for generously sponsoring the venue and helping make this special evening possible. ๐ข๐
Most of all, thank you to every student who took part โจ. Your enthusiasm, curiosity and passion for understanding our world are what make YGOTY so special! ๐๐บ๏ธ
Congratulations once again to all our prize winners! ๐๐๐ We hope this is just the beginning of many more geographical adventures ๐ฅพ๐๐โจ
