Local 10 has some exciting news to share! The Eco Hero contest is back and we are thrilled to announce our most ambitious destination yet: AUSTRALIA!
One lucky high school winner and their parent or guardian will embark on this amazing adventure with Local 10 news anchor Kristi Krueger and Zoo Miami’s Ron Magill in the summer of 2025. Could it be you or a high school student you know?
Local 10 is looking for an Eco Hero who is making a difference in their school and community. We want to meet the teen who perhaps is making strides in getting their peers more involved in saving the environment, cleaning our waterways or just spreading the word on how to be more environmentally friendly.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for one very lucky high schooler. The winner will travel to Australia for two weeks with the team in June and our adventures will be turned into a prime-time special. First stop, the city of Melbourne where we will hit the famous Melbourne Zoo and get up close with some of its beloved animals. We will also see the beautiful sights from Ayers Rock and even snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. A stop in Sydney is included and so much more!
Previous Eco Hero destinations have included The Amazon, Antarctica, Machu Picchu, Canada and the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
Eco Hero: Down Under is coming soon! Submissions will begin in January and we will have more information on how to enter the contest on Local 10 and on local10.com in the first weeks of the year. Stay tuned!
