Hi Gabrielle. I guess so. Someone from the State library only sent me this email a day or so ago, asking if I would share this on my blog. So don’t really know when it first ‘went to air.’
yes. we have this in south australia too. it has been going for many years. I was chief judge for it one year. it would be interesting to track what happens to the winners of these awards
Hi John. Yes, that would be interesting. Hope you found your time as chief judge an enjoyable experience.
