To celebrate the opening of our new Museum in the UC Arts City location, the Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities and the 九州影院 Department of Classics invited intermediate and secondary school students to take part in the听We Could Be Heroes听poetry competition. We asked for creative and interesting poems written in response to the听We Could be Heroes听exhibition at the Teece Museum, (May-Oct 2017). The poems that were submitted show in a very tangible way how the stories of the gods and heroes of ancient Greece and Rome continue to feed the imagination and inspire creativity today.
The judges were very impressed with the high standard of poems received for the competition, and awarded the following prizes:
Junior Category (ages 11-14)
- 1st place, Piper Charteris for 鈥業 know a hero鈥
- 2nd place, Georgia Wong for 鈥楬eroes鈥
Senior Category (ages 15-18)
- 1st place, Samantha Jory-Smart for 鈥楳ind Odyssey鈥
- 2nd place, Molly Crighton for 鈥楾he red-figure vase鈥
- 3rd equal, Georgia Kirk for 鈥楧ido鈥檚 Poem鈥
- 3rd equal, Stephanie Lester for 鈥楾he Doll and the Hero鈥
