Future U video competition deadline extended

The entry deadline for the Future U online competition for teenagers, a joint initiative of Massey and Westpac, has been extended to September 9.

The competition is open to 13-18-year-olds, who are being challenged to create a two-minute video of their vision of New Zealand in 2050.

Up to 20 finalists, to be announced on September 14, will travel to Auckland in October to refine their concept at a future leaders workshop.

Apart from age, there are no restrictions on who may enter, so Massey staff members are invited to share the link below with friends and family to encourage teenagers across New Zealand to participate.

The overall winner will receive a trophy, a $10,000 Massey scholarship and $1000 cash from Westpac. The winner's school will receive a $1500 cash prize from Westpac to use towards educational resources.
