5th Anniversary of the Christchurch Mosque attacks

As we approach the 5th Anniversary of the Christchurch Mosque attacks which took place on 15 March 2019, we are inviting secondary schools from around the country to participate in a national event to commemorate one of the most pivotal occasions in our country's modern history.

Students are invited to submit individual or group entries in any form, including written pieces, videos, audio recordings, artwork, poems, stories, songs, social media contributions, etc. Submissions should focus on the lessons learned from the Christchurch Mosque attacks and how we can collectively work towards building a more compassionate and inclusive society.  A particular focus this year is on the themes of peace and respect.

The deadline for submissions is 10 March 2024.

To recognise the outstanding efforts of participants, prizes of $5,000 will be awarded to the schools of the top two winning submissions and all entries will be collated for a later exhibition.  This is a unique chance for our young people to showcase their talent and creativity while contributing to a broader conversation around resilience, understanding and what peace means to us in Aotearoa New Zealand.

For further information or to submit entries, please contact info@fianz.com.  Thank you.
