No entries for this category.

Open (Year 12 – 24)

It was unfortunate the two contestants had to pull out, but Ngaire North (Ao Tawhiti) made a powerful speech that moved the judges.

Spoken Word

We had anticipated more people registering to perform their poetry but, in the end, only Noah McKay (Ao Tawhiti) stepped up to present his spoken word poem. The judges appreciated and applauded Noah’s work and awarded him a prize voucher.

TikTok Video

We had only one entry for TikTok and that student has received feedback. We were pleased to receive a video of a music performance accompanied by visual imagery, entitled Plastics in the Ocean, by two Heaton Intermediate students Michael Rankin and Hamish Preston. They also attended the event and performed live.

Impromptu Drama

This was a new category for 2021 with three teams entering. They were given 1 hour 45 minutes to prepare their item in response to the statement provided to them. The audience was entertained by the three teams with the judges awarding Heaton Intermediate’s team first prize for their ocean focused performance. The Ao Tawhiti team’s performance cleverly focused on Tiwai Point as an ecosystem; they gained second place. The team from South New Brighton created a performance around improving the health of our estuary, the judges highly commended their work.

Plains FM recorded the event on the day. The podcast can be downloaded and listened to at your leisure.

Thank you to our sponsors and supporters
