Conservation Challenge

We invite high school students to create a multimedia video presentation about a threatened or endangered species native to New Jersey. Students will work in teams and choose a scenario on which to focus their video. Scenarios are detailed in the contest kit.

Each student team will select a facilitator or mentor to help guide them in their project. This facilitator may be a teacher, parent, business leader or another trusted adult in the team’s community. The facilitator is not a team member. The Species on the Edge 2.0 Conservation Challenge is a student-led challenge.

First, second, and third place teams win a cash prize! Team facilitators also receive a cash prize.

Congratulations to all the 2024 Species on the Edge 2.0 Conservation Challenge winners! Please check back for details on the 2025 contest.
