The Slingshot Challenge is a global challenge for youth ages 13-18 that is supported by the
National Geographic Society (NGS) and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation (PGAFF). The
challenge aims to identify and support the next generation of problem-solvers, advocates, and
stewards of the planet. The challenge helps young people use their voice and ingenuity to
create solutions to tackle environmental issues.
With support from the REACH Foundation and National Geographic Explorers, participants learn about environmental topics, design a solution idea, and create and submit a 1-minute video for a chance to win $10,000.
Outstanding submissions may receive funding and have their videos amplified by National
Geographic and our Explorers!
Thank you for your interest in the challenge to Slingshot the world forward!
