Competitions
Asia Education Foundation National History Challenge Prize
The AEF is sponsoring a prize in the Asia and Australia category of the 2010 National History Challenge. The theme is 'Celebrations, Memories and History'. Students can explore Australia’s shifting identity by investigating new customs, traditions and beliefs brought to Australia by people from Asia who over time have arrived on our shores as traders, immigrants and refugees.
Students from Years 5 to 12, 19 years of age or younger, in Australian schools submit their research and can progress from School to Regional, to State and Territory and National finals. The National winners in the Asia and Australia category will receive a cash prize of $300 and travel to Canberra to attend the National Presentation Ceremony in Mural Hall, Parliament House. Closing date for entries is 27 August, 2010.
