For the 2017-18 competition, the question being asked is ‘Fake News – is this the end of facts?’

Groups of students are invited to submit short videos on this subject, examining what fake news is, what effect it may be having on the political landscape and what it means for expert opinion and ‘factual’ knowledge.

The winners of the Schools’ Video Competition will receive their award at the PSA’s annual awards ceremony in Westminster.

Ms Dinenage said: ‘We cannot undervalue the importance of engaging young people in politics.
