The team at Standby Saturday would like to express their appreciation and thanks to all the schools that joined the Standby Saturday schools competition. The design logos for Standby Sally and Sam were very well supported and many schools from across Australia put in a lot of effort for the best Standby Saturday Campaign.
We would like to acknowledge the effort of all the teachers and students. We understand the amount of work that was put into the Standby Saturday competition and are glad it was something educational and fun.
The judging decision was not easy because of the number and quality of the entries. In fact we had to include an additional category for Prep. However the student winners for the best Standby Sally and Sam.
