Aim Higher - What's Your Target?

Chifley Research Centre Event - August 2003

A National Competition for Young Australians.

Aim Higher is a national competition organised by the Chifley Research Centre in partnership with Woodside Australian Energy.

The competition gives young people the chance to put their ideas about the challenges of going from school to TAFE, university or work on the national political agenda.

The competition will provide young Australians with a means and a national platform to contribute to policies that affect them.

There are two categories for youth aged 17 and under (born 1986 or 1987) and 15 and under (born 1988 or later).

Entries can be made in any format, including: essay or short story (no longer than 1,500 words); artwork; song; video; or poem.

It can be a group entry or an individual entry.

Suggested themes for your entry include:

  • What you aspire to be;
  • What opportunities you need to get there;
  • Who inspires you to achieve;
  • What hurdles you have faced.

Your entry need not be limited to these suggested topics.

Each winning entry will be awarded $2,000 towards the achievement of your educational goals, and a trip to Sydney to present your ideas at the ALP National Conference in January 2004.

All entrants must complete an entry form. These can be downloaded by clicking on the attachment.

Also attached is a fact sheet about the competition and a poster for your classroom or community centre.
