School film competition: Bank, Camera, Action

Competition winners announced 

Thank you to everyone who took part in our 2019 film competition. Congratulations to our worthy winners.

Our topic was ‘Climate change – never too small to make a big difference’. At the Bank of England, we’re concerned about climate change. Many economic activities impact the environment, such as burning coal, oil and gas. And a threat to the environment is also a threat to the economy.

You sent us a wonderful range of creative films that included everything from news articles and interviews to cartoons and dance!

This year’s competition – ‘The Changing Workplace: same spaces, new realities’ launches on 6 October. More details coming soon.
