Minister for Youth Kate Ellis is encouraging young people across Australia to get creative and win a National Youth Week launch event in their home town.
“This year’s National Youth Week message is ‘Live it Now’ and this competition is just one way young Australians can live it up and get involved in National Youth Week,” Ms Ellis said.
The National Youth Week ourspace competition invites young people to submit an audio, video or photographic entry about the contribution young people make to their home town.
The two best entries will win a live music event in their home town and VIP passes.
“We know that young people are making a big difference in cities, suburbs and towns across Australia and we want to know all about it,” Ms Ellis said.
“Plus we want to see the amazing creative abilities of young people on display.”
This year the National Launch Events will be held in two different locations – one urban and one regional.
“While young people all over Australia will celebrate National Youth Week with a vast array of exciting events, it’s a great honour to host the official launch in your home town – and two lucky locations will get that chance,” Ms Ellis said.
ourspace entries are welcome from 12 – 25 year olds through youthweek.com until 31 January.
“The ourspace competition is just the start of the National Youth Week action.
“By visiting youthweek.com you can get information about more events, competitions and entertainment in your local area and find out how you can get involved,” she said.
National Youth Week 2010 will be held from 10 – 18 April and is a joint Australian, state, territory and local government initiative.
