Teachers - your students could win $1000 for your school with the Weedbusters 2-minute Film Challenge for Year 1-8 students. Get creative, learn heaps, and help save the environment!

What’s the challenge about?

Students need to create a short clip (up to 2 minutes long) that tells a story about ornamental garden plants that have ‘jumped the fence’ and are now causing environmental damage in natural areas of New Zealand.

The clip might raise awareness about weeds in your local area or school, or in New Zealand as a whole. It might profile a local Weedbusters group tackling weeds in your area, or it might focus on a particular type of weed.

It could be a video clip or a narrated powerpoint. It could use still photography, or stop motion animation or cartoons. It could be a play, a documentary or even a song or rap. The possibilities are endless. You might even be able to get Woody Weed, the Weedbusters mascot, to play a part in your final clip!
