ATO Video Competition for Students

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) video competition for 2012 is now open to eligible university students. With $5000 of prizes on offer, the challenge is to create a short video in the style of a television commercial based on one of two topics; TFN protection, or how the ATO contributes to a sustainable society.

The competition is open to students enrolled in their last year of study, in a course or program at an Australian university.

Students will need to advise the ATO of their interest by 5pm on 1 July 2012, with submissions closing on 10 August 2012.

Videos will be assessed by a panel of communication professionals, with shortlisted videos being uploaded to our YouTube channel allowing the public to vote for their favourite.

The people's choice prize will be determined by the highest number of 'likes' across the ATO's YouTube and Facebook pages.

The four competition winners will share a total of $5000 in gift vouchers to go towards their academic development. Prizes are as follows:

1st place – $2500

2nd place – $1500

3rd place -– $500

People's choice – $500
