The winners of the Victorian Women Vote School Poster Competition were announced by the Minister of Women’s Affairs, Maxine Morand, at special function on 11 November 2008 at Parliament House.
Victorian primary and secondary students were invited to design posters reflecting their interpretation of the fight by women for the right to vote 100 years ago.
