Voices of Hope Youth Arts Festival 2004 - Amnesty International

Theme: Stopping Violence Against Women: Everybody's Responsibility

Entries open to high school students. Otherwise, you can volunteer to help run the festival.

Every year high school students from all around the country participate in the festival by submitting works of art into one or more of our three different festival categories. That is, Literature, Arts/Multimedia, and/or Performance.

Entries can come in just about any form imaginable. Song, installation, poetry, flash animation, play, short story … whatever … it's all good to us. Give free reign to your imagination and fire up your passion for the protection of human rights and those denied them.

The Deadline: Friday, July 9, 2004.
The Reward: Thousands of dollars worth of prizes. National exposure and recognition

Victor Kelleher, award winning author for teenagers and adults has agreed to be the NSW Voices of Hope Literature judge in 2004. You’ve probably read his books Taronga and Del-Del here’s your chance to have your work read by him!!! (This is v.cool. I used to borrow all his books from the school library).
