Each year the New Zealand Defence Force runs a competition for students to raise awareness of significant anniversaries such as Anzac Day.
This year's competition is now closed. A new competition will be announced shortly.
The three top winners were presented with their prizes by Vice Chief of Defence Force Rear Admiral Jack Steer at a prize-giving ceremony at Defence House on 6 May.
RA Steer said that the Defence Force has been running a students’ competition since 2007 to encourage students to learn about Anzac Day and its connection to the Defence Force today.
The winners were as follows: Jack Notting (12) of Gisbourne who chose to spend a day with the Army. Second prize of a day with the Air Force was chosen by Estee Wrightson-Beresford, 12, of Henderson, Auckland and third prize winner Shontal Norton, 12, of Trentham will spend a day with the Navy.
Four runners up received an NZ Defence Force prize pack: Georgie Dalgety, 11, of Hunterville; Jimmy Johnstone, 12, of Winton; Anirudh Bhatnagar, 12, of Auckland; and Tahlia Armstrong, 11, of Tauranga.
