Who are the target audiences?
The target audiences are secondary-school students at the point of seeking career or higher-education advice, and school careers advisors.
What is the message?
Podiatry is a fantastic profession. Consider the vital role podiatry plays in the health care system (especially in the treatment of the diabetic foot) the importance of podiatry in elite sports and the satisfaction of maintaining mobility in the elderly.
How will the entries be judged?
The winning entry, or entries, will be selected by a panel of judges appointed by the 2011 Australasian Podiatry Conference organising committee. The judges will be looking for entries that could have a high, positive impact on the target audience. The aim is to encourage secondary school students and their careers advisors to consider podiatry as a tertiary study option and career path.
Prizes
There are two prizes. One prize will be awarded for the most original concept and one for the best overall entry. In judging best entry, the judges will have regard for the level of technical excellence. One entry may win both prizes.
First prize will be a $300 JB HiFi gift voucher and second prize a $200 JB HiFi gift voucher.
