Education and Awareness
The Fauna and Flora Fancy Dress Competition
The Fauna and Flora Fancy Dress competition attracts participation from thousands of secondary and primary school students from the remotest parts of Lagos State in South Western Nigeria to the most metropolitan areas. Organized alongside the yearly World Environment Day themes, the participants present most varied expressions in poetry, drama and songs.
This competition has for over ten years continuously provided opportunity for school children to practically express their concern on the environment and serve as an advocacy exercise towards environmental preservation. A very colourful ceremony, it provides opportunity for invited environmental policy makers and management representatives from urban business concerns to listen to these school children from the ages of 5 to 18 years while they use drama, poetry and songs as major platforms of expression.
The competition is organized by NCF every year as an activity to celebrate the World Environment Day which annually stimulates global political attention and action.
This is done in collaboration with the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) The competition has gained popularity over the years and has expanded to include schools in Lagos and its neighbouring states.
Year after year, participating schools are requested to sing songs, recite rhymes, act plays, mime or dance. Entries from schools willing to participate in the event are sent to NCF three weeks before the chosen date. They are then grouped into four age categories (5-7, 8-11, 12-14 and 15-18) for stage acting. A panel of five judges is invited to witness the event and carry out adjudication. All the winning schools are awarded prizes and the overall wining schools in each age category are presented with trophies.
This competition has created environmental awareness in the formal level of schools within Lagos state and has sensitized students’ interest in conservation issues. Many more schools are interested in starting up conservation clubs with the help of NCF as a result of increasing awareness.
