2024 Shorebirds Competition results
The Shorebirds Competition will be on hold in 2025.
An exciting opportunity for Term 3, the Shorebirds Competition addresses the 2024 theme for National Science Week, ‘Species Survival’ and provides unique cross-curricula learning for Australian primary students in Years 3 to 6.
The Shorebirds Competition introduces students to shorebirds that rely almost entirely on our wetlands and coastal areas for their survival. These very important birds connect places on a local and global scale. With shorebird numbers in fast decline, and many species now threatened with extinction, greater awareness of these special birds, and their amazing features, is essential for their future survival.
Offering over $3500 in prizes, both individuals and schools are invited to enter! Winning entries will go on display at ANSTO and in touring exhibitions.
It’s also a great activity for the Winter or Spring school holidays!
The competition opens Tuesday 18 June and closes Friday 18 October 2024.
