Moon Festival

In 2018 we invited you to help us celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival by writing a poem based on the theme Unity

There were three age categories Children (5–12); Teens (13–19); Adults (20+). Prizes were awarded for first and second place in each category.

First prize in the Adult category was a $150 book shop voucher; second prize was a $75 voucher. First prize in the Teen category was a $80 voucher; second prize was a $40 voucher. First prize in the Child category was a $50 voucher; second prize was a $30 voucher. All prize winners also received an Annual Pass to the Garden worth $21.

Judging took place 1 – 16 November 2018 and a prize giving ceremony is to be held on 24 November 2018.

Congratulations to all winners and our thanks to everyone who took part this year!
