2024 Winners

Major Prize Winner: Lucy Ashton

Major Prize Winner: Lucy Ashton

Creative Writing, Kinross Wolaroi - Year 12

A society without intellectual curiosity and emotional tribulation is a society without humanity. As such, my dystopic short fiction 'Were I Human' is a warning of a society which has abandoned literature, representative of emotional curiosity and emotional recognition, and replaced it with the mind-numbing effects of social media and narcotics, explored through my protagonist Miranda. I aim to inspire reflection on the power of literature in validating emotion through the creation of my own ironic world, ‘The City of Love: 2105’, in which instant gratification is rife and true emotion little.

People's Choice Winner: Hannah Campbell

Visual Arts, All Hallows' School - Year 12

One in Two Worlds is an exploration of subjective human perception, focusing on how stress caused by schoolwork can permeate an individual’s perception of reality. In my artwork, I employed techniques of manipulation, including recontextualization, to communicate how reality and subjective perception (consequent to stress) become connected. The incorporation of assessment materials, combined with the painting of a student holding her head in her hands, invites the viewer to understand how stress can infiltrate a person’s sense of reality, altering their perception of life.

Sustainable City Centre for Eastlake

My project envisions a sustainable city centre at the heart of Canberra, directly integrating with the future light rail station. Designed with unique organic forms, the center blends functionality and art, featuring shaded masses that provide natural cooling while enhancing the urban aesthetic. This innovative approach not only prioritizes sustainability but also offers a visually striking landmark that harmonizes with the environment and serves as a vibrant, modern space for the community.

Promising Young Woman: A Revenge Fantasy and a Woman's Worst Nightmare

Warning - sensitive topics

This mock feature article, completed as an English assignment on contemporary issues in media and entertainment, analyses the film Promising Young Woman its themes of sexual assault, victim-blaming, and societal injustice. The piece draws connections to real-life cases, commenting on the change needed in rape culture to support survivors within modern society.

Creative Industries, Dickson College - Year 12

Honest (feat. Charlie Flexx)

"Honest" is an original song I wrote and produced. After getting a solid vibe down on the instrumental, I sent it off to Charlie Flexx From Kenya to record some vocals on the track. I then spent hours upon hours adjusting and mixing the track to get it as close to perfection.

After uploading the track to Triple J Unearthed, it has been played across their radio stations over 50 times and has many good reviews from their presenters: https://www.abc.net.au/triplejunearthed/artist/db7/

Design, Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School - Year 12

Starfall Studios

The hit new studio starfall studios is an advertising website for a fictional game development studio, which had some new products coming out call the stardust chronicles, Echoes of Elysium, and Aetherium Legends. This webiste consists of one page, as a showcase of what the client would get as a preview for the project. In the future I hope to add more pages, and add more detail. It was made using HTML, CSS, and Javascript, furthermore all graphics and multimedia elements were done in ADOBE software.
