ANZAC Prize open to secondary students

The Nationals Member for Gippsland South, Danny O’Brien is encouraging local secondary students to enter the 2025 Premier’s Spirit of ANZAC Prize competition.

“This competition, which has been held annually since 2005, is a great opportunity for secondary students (Years 9-12) to increase their understanding and appreciation of the Spirit of ANZAC,” Mr O’Brien said.

“Submissions can be made in an array of formats including but not limited to an essay, poem, short story, or even a musical composition.

“This year is of particular significance as the ten students who are awarded the 2025 Spirit of ANZAC Prize will receive a fully funded study tour to visit Gallipoli on the 110th anniversary of the ANZACs’ landing on 25 April 1915.

“This is an amazing opportunity for the students who are lucky enough to embark on this study tour.”

Entries close on 28 April 2025.
