Entries for this year’s Parliament Prize competition are now open for Victorian students from Grade 5 to Year 12.
This popular competition asks students to consider the issues that are important in their own communities and record a 90-second video of a statement they would make to parliament if they were an MP.
Students can win cash prizes for themselves and their schools, with three entry categories: Grades 5‑6, Years 7-9 and Years 10-12.
Last year the Parliament Prize received 1018 entries from students from over 200 schools across Victoria. And, with more than 450 unique topics raised in these entries, Members of Parliament took a great interest in what students in their local areas had to say.
Examples included the cost of living, anti-discrimination, health and mental health, artificial intelligence and education.
Entries for this year’s prize can be submitted via the competition website, vicparl.news/parlprize, until 5pm on Friday 14 June 2024.
The website includes resources that will help both students and teachers who want to take part in the competition.
