Today is the start of SA Youth Week, an annual week-long celebration of all young people in South Australia aged 12-25 years, recognising their ideas, talents and contributions.
From Friday 13 May until Sunday 22 May, we’re inviting all young people from 12-18 years who are in care to write a poem or short story on what they like about being a young person in South Australia.
With all the entries we hope to create an e-book to share with each young person who contributed and to the wider care community.
The winner will win a $50 voucher of their choice from our selected stores (Dymocks, JB Hi-Fi, Toyworld or Rebel Sport), plus bragging rights!
Entries close 5pm on Sunday 22 May 2022.
