Economics Creative Competition 2024

To promote the study of Economics and Business, the Economics Teachers’ Association of Western Australia is running an Economics-themed creative competition.
The creations should be based on the current economic climate in Australia, focusing on economic events from 2022-2024.

Any school teaching the Western Australian Humanities and Social Sciences Curriculum, or the ATAR Economics Course, is invited to submit a total of up to three student-created entries. Entries may be made by hand, created using software or by some combination of these methods.

 Students can submit their creative piece in any of the following formats:

• Cartoon               
• Painting or Drawing
• Video (30 seconds maximum)
• PowerPoint
• Infographic
• Song (30 seconds maximum)
• Poem
• Model (must submit at least 3 clear images of the model)                      

There is a $200 first prize for the best entry for each division.

There are two $50 runner-up prizes for each division.

If the winning entry has been created by a group of students, the prize money will be shared on an equal basis between the group members.

There are six age divisions:

• Years 5 and 6
• Year 7
• Year 8
• Year 9
• Year 10
• Years 11 and 12

The judges’ decision will be based on:
