Only 1 month left to enter....RSL ANZAC Art Competition

 RSL ANZAC Art Awards *DEADLNE EXTENDED* 09/11/12 @ 5pm
"The RSL ANZAC Art Award Council has carefully prepared the new RSL ANZAC Art Awards with the aim of encouraging all young people to think about what previous generations of soldiers, sailors and airmen have done to serve and defend this great country of ours."

Open to all NSW school students from Years 1-12, the long-running art award acknowledges the values of ANZAC, such as respect and remembrance in a visual context.

Shared from School Biz: "RSL NSW developed the ANZAC Art Project for all schools in NSW in the 1970s to encourage all school students to research, learn and appreciate the historical and cultural significance of Australia’s traditional links to ANZAC Day.

The ANZAC Art Award offers a colouring competition to primary students and a painting competition to secondary students.

Each of the six categories has an award certificate of Bronze, Silver and Gold for winning contestants along with cash prizes in each category. There is also The RSL Lifecare Award chosen from schools who submit at least five entries.

A special award and medal will also commemorate the outstanding service and commitment of the late President of the Teachers Sub-Branch of the Returned and Services League, Geoffrey William Falkenmire OAM.

The NSW Premiers Kokoda Prize will be awarded to an 18 year old student who will get to experience a true ANZAC tradition walking the Kodoka Track in Papua New Guinea.

 The competition closes on 2 November 2012 with the winners being announced before the end of term."
