About the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize
The 2026 Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize competition is now open. Apply by 11 May 2026.
The Prize offers young Victorians the opportunity to join a fully funded study tour and:
- visit significant wartime and historical sites
- explore Australia’s wartime and peacekeeping history
- connect with veterans and the ex-service community
- understand and remember the contribution of Victorian service people.
The Prize began in 2005, connecting young Victorians with the legend of Anzac, born on the beaches of Gallipoli, Türkiye on 25 April 1915.
Since then, over 4,000 applications have been received, and more than 500 students have been awarded the Prize.
