JMC Academy is proud to announce the 2024 Songwriting Competition for students across New South Wales, ACT, Victoria and Queensland in years 9-12. The competition aims to highlight the talent of high-school songwriters from across the country and to showcase the creativity of young people.

Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize
Opens: October 3, 2023
Closes: April 12, 2024
Sponsored by the University of Sydney, the Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize encourages students to communicate a scientific concept in a way that is accessible and entertaining to the public while painlessly increasing their science knowledge or, as Dr Karl and Adam like to say, “Learn something without even noticing”. It is intended to support budding young scientists across the nation, who will be our future leaders in research, discovery and communication.
The 2024 theme is ‘Energy’.
