The Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize is an essay-based competition open to all year nine students to help promote and preserve the meaning of the ANZAC spirit in the Tasmanian community.
Six student competition winners and two teachers will participate in a study tour of the Western Front in Belgium and France for ANZAC Day in 2020.
The prize has been awarded annually since 2004 to recognise Tasmania's last WW1 veteran, Frank MacDonald, who died in 2003 at the age of 107.
It provides the opportunity for young Tasmanians to link with veterans and gain a greater understanding of Tasmanian and Australian war history and the role of Tasmanians in WWI and other wars and conflicts.
The Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize is an initiative of the Tasmanian Government and is supported by RSL Tasmania.
Entries are open and close on August 23.
