The competition, which was open to all secondary school and sixth form pupils across the UK, asked young philosophers to devise a script for a potential animated video on how people with different beliefs and values can deal with disagreement.

Professor Lisa Bortolotti of the University of Birmingham reported that Ptolemy's script 'stood out for complexity and originality' and, as a result, his script will soon be published on The Philosophy Garden's website and made into an animated video by Squideo.

Not only will this video be made available to teachers and students all over the world, but it will also be part of an exhibition in the Philosophy Museum in Milan. Ptolemy will be formally receiving a certificate for his accomplishment at the Midlands Arts Centre on March 18, at the Royal Institute of Philosophy event, 'In the Mind of a Conspiracy Theorist'.
