My Place Competition

The My Place competition has been run by the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) since 2018. The competition topics are based on the themes in the television series which is available on ABCiView.

My Place, based on the classic picture book by Nadia Wheatley and Donna Rawlins, is a ‘time machine’ which takes audiences back into the past. It depicts the history of one Australian community through the eyes of the diverse children who lived there, highlighting the ways that people and places shape our personal, local and national histories.

The creative writing competition offers students from Years 1 to 8 and all special education students the opportunity to explore the history of Australia through creative writing.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. The HTAV Office is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. These lands were never ceded. We pay our respect to their ancestors and Elders, past and present.

Please note: Members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities should be aware that the HTAV website may include images or names of people now deceased.
