  2. Collect signed permission forms and send to your state coordinator.
  3. Ensure entries are submitted online by the closing date, 23 August 2024.
  4. Order Certificates of Participation online. These are for ALL participants, not just those submitted for regional or state judging, and can be ordered at any time.

For students:

  1. Think about the theme of “Crisis and Response” before you choose your topic.
  2. Read the criteria of the competition.
  3. Choose your presentation format.
  4. Decide if you want to enter a Special Category as well as your entry level and check the criteria.
  5. If selected for submission by your teacher, complete and digitally sign the online entry form. Please read and follow the instructions on the website.

Entry Process:

  3.  Ensure your entry can be accessed on any computer without the need for specific software, operating systems or passwords. For example, entries submitted using Google Docs with restricted access and therefore cannot be judged.
