Junior and senior winners in each State and Territory will receive a cash prize of $100. Each winner’s school also receives a $100 prize.
The national junior and senior winners (selected from State and Territory winners) each receive $500 and a trip to the awards ceremony in Canberra. Old Parliament House pays expenses for the trip (not redeemable for cash).
The national winner’s school also receives $100.
The facts speak only when the historian calls on them: it is he who decides to which facts to give the floor, and in what order or context.
