Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize - 2024 student competition

The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize 2024 is open to students enrolled in Years 9 to 12.

Students entering the competition will investigate how ordinary Victorians:

  • united to crowd-fund and build the Shrine and other community war memorials
  • achieved their goal during a time of grief, loss and financial hardship
  • showed Anzac values of support, courage, endurance, resourcefulness and mateship.

They may be selected to join a funded overseas study tour in 2024. We expect the study tour to take place during the Victorian September school holidays. All dates are indicative and subject to change.

The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize Study Tour

The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize 2024 is awarded to 12 students.

These students will receive a fully funded 10-day overseas study tour, which includes:

  • accommodation
  • transport
  • activities
  • meals
  • travel insurance

The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing covers all costs.

Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize study tours aim to connect young Victorians with the legend and spirit of Anzac, which symbolises the courage and sacrifice of Australian service people.

Study tour experiences also broaden students’ education and personal outlook.

On the study tour you can:

  • deepen your understanding of Australian and world history
  • learn from experts, when visiting sites of historical and cultural significance
  • meet a likeminded yet diverse group of other students
  • form meaningful connections
  • gain new perspectives
  • build your independence, collaboration and leadership skills
  • have fun
  • make memories to last a lifetime
  • immerse yourself in another country’s rich culture and history.
