Schools Respect Competition - For schools in your network

August 2024

On behalf of the Australian Government Department of Social Services and the Stop it at the Start campaign.

Stop it at the Start is an initiative under the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children2022-32 and aims to prevent gender-based violence by influencing change to attitudes and behaviours that support or condone gender-based violence. Dentsu work closely with the Department of Social Services to drive community engagement and activities to support the campaign.

One of the community engagement initiatives we are working on is the Respect Competition. We’d appreciate your support in sharing this with your school community.

Respect Competition – now open!

The Respect Competition invites students in years 4-9 across Australia to show us what respect looks like in their world. The competition is a great way to start conversations with young people about respect, and respectful attitudes and behaviours.

About the competition: Two competition categories: students in years 4-6 (primary school) students in years 7-9 (high school)

The Respect Competition is aimed at schools and education communities, encouraging young people to submit a story about what respect means to them.

Winning entries will receive a $500 gift card and one for their school, and the opportunity to have their storyboard turned into a real animation by a professional animator.

Runners up will receive a $250 gift card.
