Undergrowth competition 2023

Overgrowth is a magazine about nature, wildness and the environment.

In our new 'Undergrowth' competition, we want to see your ideas about nature and our relationship to it. We want you to think about growth and regeneration. We want to see the seeds of ideas that could grow into wonderful, inspiring responses to our environmental crisis. Most of all, we want to open the floor to the next generation of nature and wilderness lovers (aged 16-19).
