Anti-Cyber Bullying Competiton

This year Southwark Council's Children's Services are running anti-bullying awards and want to give young people the opportunity to have their say on the subject of cyberbullying. This borough-wide awards competition will showcase the most creative responses to cyberbullying from young people.

A team of judges – including a panel from young people - will select the best entries from school teams who will be invited to a special awards presentation event at the prestigious South Bank Centre on the 4^th February 2010. Prizes will be given in different categories and all entries and winners will receive a certificate and have their work showcased over the following 12 months.

What are the judges looking for?

The criteria for the awards is very broad and you can choose to highlight any issue of cyberbullying through digital media.   

Here’s some example of what children and young people might choose to create:

• A powerpoint presentation on how to prevent cyberbullying

• A video showing the impact of cyberbullying

• A poster or leaflet to help educate other young people

• Documenting a training programme for parents or carers or grandparents.

• Developing a podcast or blog on the subject of cyberbullying

• A comic strip or animated caption

• A simple slogan.
