Building on from the 2015 inaugural competition, in 2016 NAILA received a record 85 high quality video entries from across all states and territories of Australia, as well as from Australians residing in Indonesia and Indonesian nationals studying in Australia.
The theme of the 2016 competition was ‘Masa Depan (Kita)’ meaning ‘Our Future’ or ‘The Future.’ Entries ranged from primary and secondary school students explaining the reasons why they aspire to pursue careers in forensic science, law, and marine biology to original poetry, dance and musical performances, karate and cooking demonstrations.
