The Political & Legal Educators Association (PLEAWA) is excited to invite students to participate in our Political Cartoon Competition as part of HASS Week WA 2024!

This competition is open to Year 7-12 students across Western Australia. Participants can enter individually or in small groups of up to three members. Students will be split into two divisions:

  • Years 7-9
  • Years 10-12

Theme
Your task is to create a political cartoon that sheds light on a current issue relating to Australian politics or law. It should focus on developments from 2022 - 2024.

Criteria
The submissions will be judged using the following criteria:

  1. Originality
  2. Understanding of the Australian Political and/or Legal System

We are looking for a cartoon that presents a unique perspective or idea. It should accurately refer to relevant parts of the political/legal system and effectively uses images and text to communicate a powerful idea.
