Respect comes in all colours, shapes and sizes
The winners of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission's Shot! photographic competition for young people will be announced at the Human Rights Day Medals and
The competition attracted well over 100 images from young people right across Australia that captured what 'respect' looks like in their schools, communities and close relationships.
It encouraged young people to think about issues of human rights and respect in their own daily lives and was open to all Australian young people aged 12-18 years.
A selection of photographs will be showcased at the Human Rights Day ceremony and an online gallery will be available from 10 December on the Commission's website at www.humanrights.gov.au/shot so you can check out a selection of the images that were entered.
The 2003 Human Rights Medal and Awards luncheon ceremony will be held on Wednesday 10 December 2003, at the Sheraton on the Park hotel, Sydney, from 12midday to 3pm.
