Find out how to enter our national competition.
To enter you need to make a case for YOUR Budget choices.
To make a case you will need to create a short video (max 90 secs) that pitches your budget to the nation. We’re not looking for technical proficiency but the strength of your argument and how creatively you've presented it. Here’s what the judges will be looking out for:
- A clear format that is easy to follow;
- Critical thinking around the competing claims on the choices you've made;
- Convincing arguments that support your decisions;
- A case that represents the concerns and interests of a wide variety of people from different backgrounds;
- An overall ‘vision’ of the kind of society your budget aims to create;
- Creativity.

Hi KBetts – Ideally we’d ask for individual entries to the competition as opposed to group entries, is that possible?
No thats not really possible. as we are entering from our school. has the website been sorted out yet as on tuesday when it said we’d get money it took it away and vice versa?
