Shade Competition 2026

Win $10,000 for Shade Competition

Download Entry Form

Cancer Council WA is offering one lucky Western Australian secondary school $10,000 to put towards increasing shade. There are also five SunSmart prize packs up for grabs too!

Who can enter?

We are encouraging all Western Australian secondary schools to make positive changes to their sun protection policies and practices. Small changes can have a big, lasting impact – and we are asking schools to identify and implement those changes to reduce the skin cancer risk of their school community. Schools could have sun protection practices already in place or could be starting from scratch. It’s just about making improvements from wherever you are!

Western Australian schools with secondary student enrolments are eligible – senior colleges and high schools, district high schools or K-12 schools, so long as the sun protection strategies apply to all or part of the secondary school.

Pass this information on to any colleagues who can help your school community improve their sun protection standards and go in the draw to win.
