More than $8500 was awarded to Central Queensland primary schools at the Central Queensland University Multicultural Fair and Open Day for their winning entries in a digital imagery competition.

The judges all agreed that Woorabinda State School and Glenmore State School were stand-outs in the competition, clearly showcasing the students' understanding of issues of multiculturalism in Australia.

CQU coordinated workshops in digital imagery for the school students in the lead-up to the competition.

Multicultural Affairs Queensland funded the project through a Multicultural Assistance Program grant. It was part of a 3-year grant which commenced in 2005 and culminated this year.

The competition required students to collaborate to create a multimedia presentation about multiculturalism in Australia. This could include history, contemporary issues, stories of inclusion and diversity or other ideas that include the ethos of acceptance in modern Australian society.
