Tim Bull encourages local students to participate in the 2024 Parliament Prize competition. Students from years five to twelve can submit videos presenting their ideas for Parliament. Entries close on June 14, 2024.
Nationals Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, is encouraging local students to enter the annual 2024 Parliament Prize competition. "Entries are now open for Years five - 12 to enter this year's Parliament Prize where applicants are being asked what they would say to Parliament if they were an MP. To enter, pupils need to record a video of themselves delivering a Member's Statement that they would make to Parliament," Mr Bull said.

Mr Bull also said, "A Member's Statement is an opportunity for elected members to make a brief statement of up to 90-seconds in State Parliament on matters of interest or concern to them and those living in their electorate. In the last couple of years, two East Gippslanders have been selected as prize finalists, which is proof our young people have great ideas, and their contributions are of a high quality," he said.
The Parliament Prize competition is open to all Victorian primary and secondary school students, with age categories of years five to six, years seven to nine 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.
An award of $1,000 will be made to each first-placed student's school, which will ideally be used to promote civics and citizenship and law-related education within these schools, at the schools' discretion. For more information on the competition including entry terms and conditions visit The Parliament Prize 2024 website. Entries close 5pm, Friday 14 June 2024.
