Deadline looming for presenter competition
Time is running out to become the next Cairngorms Nature Young Presenter.
Cairngorms Nature and the RSPB are looking for a child between the age of 10 and 16 who loves nature to become their young presenter to inspire other young people about the wildlife of the national park.
The winner of the competition will win a wildlife experience with TV naturalist Iolo Williams and a five-day holiday in the national park as well.
Iolo said: “It’s so important to inspire the young people now who will go on to be the movers and shakers of the next generation. The past winners have both been passionate nature lovers and it was a pleasure to spend time with them.
“If you’re a young person who loves nature and wants to inspire others to love it too then enter the competition and show us that passion.”
Last year’s winner Alex Bayley is also encouraging people to get involved. He said: “My trip to the Cairngorms has been invaluable. I have learnt so much about the vast amount of wildlife that the Cairngorms holds and the endangered species that it treasures.
“I loved presenting Cairngorms Nature 2017 and I strongly recommend that you enter for Cairngorms Nature Young Presenter 2018.’’
To enter the competition, entrants need to film themselves talking about why they are passionate about wildlife and why they want to bring the Cairngorms to a younger audience for no more than 60 seconds. A parent or guardian then needs to upload the footage to www.rspb.org.uk/ cairngormsnature
The competition closes on Tuesday, October 31. TV presenter Iolo Williams
