Let Your Voices Soar! 2025 Young Voices Awards

The Australian Catholics website features the Young Voices Awards (YVA), an initiative encouraging young people to express their views and creativity. This annual competition invites students to submit their writings, offering them a platform to share their perspectives on various topics. The YVA aims to nurture young talent and provide them with an opportunity to be published, fostering a sense of community and engagement among young writers.

Each year the Australian Catholics magazine hosts the Young Voices Awards.

The theme for 2025 is 'Voices of hope'.

For secondary school students there are two categories:

●       Intermediate (Years 7 to 9)

●      Senior (Years 10 to 12).

Each section has three entry categories that you can choose from:

●      Articles

●      Photographs

●       Digital (video or podcast).

You can only submit ONE entry and it must be an individual work.
