National Youth Week 2008 talent competition

“I encourage local residents to take part in the lead up events to National Youth Week 2008,” Sophie Mirabella, the Federal Member for Indi, said today.

“The 2008 National Talent Competitions has just opened, and will contribute towards National Youth Week from 5 to 13 April 2008, under the theme ‘Shout. Share. Live. Unite.’.”

“The National Talent Competitions allows young people to put their creative talents to use in the areas of music, writing, filmmaking, photography and graphic design,” Mrs Mirabella said.

There are five competitions - RockIT, WriteIT, ShootIT, DesignIT and SnapIT, with junior (12 – 17 years) and senior (18 – 25 years) age categories and an Industry Award and a People’s Choice Award in each category.

“The Industry Awards are chosen by relevant experts, while the People’s Choice Awards will be decided through an online voting system, where young people can vote for their pick of short listed entries.”

“Prizes will include computer packages and video cameras, which will help the winners develop their creative talents.”

Full details for the National Talent Competition entry forms are available online at www.youthweek.com

Entries close at 5pm Monday 14 April 2008, with winners announced in June 2008.
