Program overview
Students
The annual Premier's Anzac Prize provides a life-changing opportunity for 8 high school students to engage with the Anzac tradition first-hand and explore how the Anzac legacy relates to modern Australian life.
The Premier's Anzac Prize is a highly enriching program for young history enthusiasts. Prize recipients are required to take part in activities that build their knowledge and understanding of the Anzac spirit and its relevance in modern Australian and global contexts.
Tasks include research and commemoration of service people, community engagement and fundraising projects, and participation in a tour of key sites important to Australian war history.
The 2020 Premier’s Anzac Prize recipients were unable to travel as part of their 2020 program. However, the group has demonstrated extraordinary resilience and commitment to continued engagement with the Anzac legacy in their local Queensland communities and it is anticipated they will undertake a tour in the future.
