About

This competition provides an opportunity for pupils to create a digital film of no more than 3 minutes around the theme of walking or cycling to school as part of the Walk to School campaign.
Prizes of cameras and software are being donated by Hertfordshire County Council Health and Safety Team and Tag Learning.

Pupils can use any camera for this work. ‘Digital Blue’ cameras are available for loan, if required, from the Resources Library at Hertfordshire Development Centre.

Last year, pupils were asked to use digital film to creating an advertisement promoting walking or cycling to school.
