School Selection of Entries
Schools run an in-house competition (and exhibition*) to select a maximum of TWO entries per year level from Foundation to Year 6 to forward for judging at the state final.
Selected students complete a Student Entry Form which includes obtaining permission from the parent/carer. This form is retained at the school.
*The Committee recommends the school hold their own exhibition and award prizes and certificates to make German visible.
Electronic Submission of Entries to a Dedicated Email
Entries accepted anytime until: Sat 16th September
A 'Certificate of Participation' for students will be forwarded to schools rfor all students completing an entry for the school competition.
Images of entries may be displayed at AGTV events, published in SZENE and as a digital exhibition on a website.
Judging of State Final Entries
Prizes are awarded in all year levels. Winners will be announced in Term 4.
The AGTV reserves the right to display entries at events or on a public website to inspire others and report on or promote the competition.
