Competition Winners <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After careful consideration and review against the \u2018Respect Is\u2019 competition criteria, we are excited to announce the following competition winners: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff Category<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Place $250 voucher: Tracey Khan<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Description: Despite the outcome of the Voice Referendum, First Nations and proud Yamatji Noongar woman, Sharon Brindley, showed up for us on 19\/10\/23 as guest speaker at an event aimed to raise awareness of Australian native foods and Indigenous land management practices. It turned into an emotional event as Sharon shared her truth-telling with us and the impact of the Referendum outcome on her and her peoples. The emotion unexpectedly brought the event alive and took it to a whole new level. This photo captures Sharon’s strength, spirit and desire to raise awareness of Indigenous culture, in spite of the enormous hurt she was feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Place $100 voucher: Babak Dadvand<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Description: I captured this photo at a Melbourne inclusion and multiculturalism festival, symbolizing the city’s harmony and diversity. The colourful bubbles represent a celebration of differences, while people of various genders, ages, and ethnicities embody our multicultural, respectful society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judging panel was unable to decide on just one third-prize winner. The following entries were both awarded the third place prize: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Place: $50 voucher: Emily Beiber <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Description: Respect is young women comfortably catching public transport late at night. I took my daughter and her bestie to see a musical in town. Public transport is everyone’s space to occupy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Place: $50 voucher: Corina Modderman<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Student Category<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Place $250 voucher: Laavanya Raturi<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second Place $100 voucher: Jeska Rees<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Third Place $50 Voucher: Alyssa Serra <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Description: Respect is accepting that people have differing opinions on particular topics. We need to begin to respect these differing opinions instead of silencing one or the other.  We need to look beyond the bushes and the trees to see the sun. The sun is a reminder that no matter what opinion we have we still live on this earth and we must respect all opinions and views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Place $50 Voucher: Ragini Patil<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
