Schools Competition
Competition for Primary and Secondary schools in Wales
The competition we are running this year is an open one with the theme of the environment in Antiquity.
The Environment in Antiquity
This year’s schools’ competition, funded by the Classical Association, will be on the topic of the environment in antiquity. There will be prizes for group and individual projects from primary, secondary, and sixth-form pupils, based on the theme of the environment. Pupils are encouraged to be as creative as they wish: projects in any medium will be accepted, such as an online game, a model, play, etc. For secondary schools, we will also have an individual translation competition in Latin and Greek. The deadline is Friday 30th June 2017.
A poster of the competition can be found further down the page.
