Dear Colleagues,

The YAGA Competition is about to close, so this is the last call for entries in the 2012 competition.

About the YAGAs:
The Young Australasian Games Awards (YAGA) promotes the use of programming as part of an essential skill for curriculum delivery from primary Year 3 -6 to secondary Year 12. The YAGA , previously known as the Programming awards, has been a key student competition for over ten years.

Competition Theme: Australian Heroes
Students are invited to rise to the challenge and write a game that teaches the concepts of persistence, endeavour, pushing through to win and overcoming obstacles as encapsulated by a hero in Australian history.

Competition Categories:

·         Primary

·         Secondary
Schools may submit as many entries as they like.

Sponsorship:
The YAGA competition is sponsored by Academy of Interactive Entertainment.  There are great Prizes to be won.
Winners will be announced at the ICT and Careers Expo in the BMW Edge Theatre at Federation Square on Friday 7 September.
