Poster Competition - Cancelled due to COVID-19
Due to the challenges posed to schools and community groups by COVID-19, the poster competition for 2020 has been cancelled.
We have decided to use the same topic in 2021, so that teachers' preparation does not go to waste.
If you have any questions or queries, please contact the competition organisers at postercomp.dante.melbourne@gmail.com.
Submission dates will be posted in early 2021.
