The Policy idea competition asks students to imagine what they’d do to change New Zealand for the better, if they were the Prime Minister.

Students can enter individually, in groups, or as a whole classroom, with short written entries or videos. Entries close September 5. More information can be found at policy.nz/competition.

The competition is run by Policy, the complete online guide to New Zealand’s 2020 election.

They have a range of great prizes including cash, book vouchers, shoes from Allbirds, and more.

Students’ ideas will be judged by a panel including NBA basketballer Steven Adams, science educator Michelle Dickinson (‘Nanogirl’), journalist and broadcaster Mihi Forbes, Professor of Public Policy and former MP Marilyn Waring, and Allbirds CEO and former All White Tim Brown.
