In an effort to encourage and celebrate a love of learning languages in Australia, SBS Radio is making its annual National Languages Competition open for all ages for the first time.
The nationwide competition aims to engage all Australians who are learning a language, including those learning English and reflect on the cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity of the country’s multicultural society.
To participate in the ‘SBS National Languages Competition’ applicants can send a photo, a drawing or a collage that shows what possibilities learning a language can open, why the applicant chose to learn this specific language or what they like about the language they are learning.
The entries should be captioned in the language the participants are learning as well as in English (not required for English learners) and the English translation should be as accurate as possible and submitted by 11:59pm on Sunday 18 November 2018 (AEST) and there can only be one submission per entrant (group entries are also accepted).
The five most unique entries based on both the imagery and the caption (one from each age category) will receive an iPad Pro for the winner and their school of learning.
Winners will be notified by email or phone by the end of November and will be invited to attend the SBS National Languages Competition award ceremony at SBS headquarters in Sydney to be held in December 2018.
Those not based in NSW at the time of the above award ceremony will receive return airfares (for them and one guardian) from their capital city and one night’s accommodation in Sydney to attend the ceremony.
