Member for Mildura, Jade Benham is encouraging local students to enter the annual 2024 Parliament Prize competition.
Entries are now open for students in Years 5 – 12 for this year’s Parliamentary Prize.
This year, students are being asked what they would say to Parliament if they were an MP,” said Ms Benham.
To enter, students need to record a video of themselves delivering a Member’s Statement (a brief statement of up to 90 seconds) that they would make to Parliament.
The Parliamentary Prize competition is open to Victorian primary and secondary school students, with age categories of years 5-6, years 7-9 and years 10-12.
A prize of $500 and a commemorative trophy will be awarded to the first-placed entry in each category.
There will also be prizes of $250 to the second-placed entries and $125 to the third-placed entries in each age group, and an award of $1,000 will be made to each first-placed student’s school.
