I am very proud of an initiative I have launched to celebrate the innovation and creativity of young people in my electorate of Corangamite and across the broader region. The Salty Lake Film Fest is a young filmmakers competition which seeks to celebrate the creativity of young Australians as well as showcase our wonderful region. It is underpinned by the message 'Our home, your story'. The Cotton On Group, I am very proud to say, is providing a total of $10,000 in prize money, including $3,000 for the major prize. This is a very significant investment in giving young people across our region a voice. Last year, we launched the Salty Lake Film Fest with the Assistant Minister for Innovation, Wyatt Roy, and it has been received very positively. Applications are now open at saltylakefilmfest.com.au. Our government very proudly is focused on innovation, on the digital economy, on harnessing the wonderful ideas of young Australians, on developing those jobs for the future—and what a great way to do it this is, giving young people a chance to make a film of between two and five minutes in duration, to tell their story and to be proud of the home in which they live. I repeat the address: saltylakefilmfest.com.au.
