YRE International Competition 2024-2025

Shortlisted entries

We are thrilled to announce the shortlisted entries for the 2024-2025 edition of the Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) International Competition!

This year, we received numerous powerful and thought-provoking submissions with the powerful theme of Ecosystem Restoration, from passionate young reporters around the globe. From investigative articles to photos, podcasts, and videos, each entry reflected a strong commitment to environmental storytelling and the drive to create meaningful change for restoring degraded ecosystem, protecting biodiversity, and promoting sustainable practices in the communities. We also received entries from our partners from the World Organization of the Scout Movement and ASPNet Schools.

We are proud to share that 62 entries have been shortlisted by our review panel and are now advancing to the final stage with our International Jury.

For the podcast category: 30 national podcasts were submitted this year, all have been declared winners and will each receive the Gosia Luszczek Podcasting Award🏅 These entries will also help the FEE team and the International Jury shape the future criteria for this exciting and popular category.

Thank you all young reporters for your participation, your voice, your vision, and your courage to report on the environmental challenges in Ecosystem Restoration issues!

Congratulations to all our shortlisted finalists!
