We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2020 Platform x Central Geelong Marketing Storyfest Competition. This year, we asked young writers to tell their stories of social connection.
It was tough to choose only a few winners from all the wonderful applications we received. In recognition of some outstanding entries that didn't quite secure a place, we also included two 'Highly Commended' awards for each age group.
Congratulations to the finalists in each category:
8 - 12 years old:
First Place ($500): Thomas Taylor, Rap of Isolation
Second Place ($250): Shosana Thomas, Rolly
Third Place ($150): Harry McDonough, The Story of Jimmy and Bob
Highly Commended ($100 each): Madison Rafter and Jack Burgess
