AND THE WINNER IS…

 

Congratulations goes to the “Nuff Stuff” team from the Don Dale Juvenile Detention Centre, Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia which was recently selected as the Australian National Winner of GetReel, as well as the State finalist for Western Australia/Northern Territory for their clay animation anti-marijuana advertisement.

 

The GetReel Competition was a joint drug education initiative of Youth Off The Streets and the Sony Foundation Australia that gave young people the chance to take charge of their own drug education by designing TV ads targeting youth drug use or a related issue.  Youth Off The Streets is a registered charity working with chronically homeless and drug addicted young people.

 

Over 350 entries were received from schools, community groups and individuals from all around Australia, that targeted a whole range of drugs, youth issues and risk taking behaviours.

 

As National winner the Centre won a giant Sony Wega TV and Sony Walkman/CD/Video packs, along with professional assistance to turn their design into a TV ad.  As State finalist the Centre also received a digital video camera and CD/Video packs for individual team members.

 

WELL DONE!
