Case Study Competition
Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 WCE Case Study Competition!
For this three-week event, the Wetland Centre of Excellence students will tackle real environmental questions in Canada. Students will work in teams to research one of two case studies put together by DUC, and on Competition Day, they will present their recommendation to a panel of judges. There is no right answer! We expect students to think critically about their case study question and get creative with solutions.
Students will compete in teams of two or three. All teams must attend a mandatory virtual workshop that will explain the two case studies. On Competition Day, each team will be given a 10-minute slot to orally present their recommendation to the judges (via Microsoft Teams). Presentations should be no longer than 7 minutes, and judges will have up to 3 minutes afterwards to ask questions. Teams have the option to pick only one member to present to the judges.
The winning team will receive $500 for their Wetland Centre of Excellence and their names on our Youth Wetland Expert Trophy!
