Christmas Island poster competition

Christmas Island Detention Centre - what would you do with it?

Imagine that offshore detention of asylum seekers suddenly disappeared from Australian Government policy forever. What would that mean?

For a start, we'd have a huge $400 million facility on Christmas Island sitting there empty and unused. What would we do with it?

Amnesty International Australia needs school students around Australia to help us work this out.

We're running a nationwide competition to see what students would do with the Christmas Island Detention Centre facility. A theme park? A new Parliament House? A welcome centre for extra-terrestrial visitors?...

Create a poster of your proposal and submit it via the form below. Entries will be judged based on creativity, humour, practicality or all of these at once and anything else we've left out.

All submitted entries will be published on our website.

Please spread the word and get everyone in your school to join the competition!
