Anti-Poverty Week (APW) will be held across Australia from the 17th to the 23rd of October 2021. The Telstra Tower and The National Carillon will be lit up in blue on the evening of Thursday 21st October and Friday 22nd of October to acknowledge the end of Anti-Poverty Week 2021. The colour blue has been chosen in line with the lighting up of monuments across Australia to symbolise a brighter future of hope particularly for children living in poverty.

Also, the APW Art Competition is a youth art competition (part of the week). It is open to all ACT Youth 18 years and under! Entries are open until Friday 15th October and the theme of the APW Art Competition is “Hopes for My Future”. Winners will be decided by a vote during APW https://antipovertyart.com/votehere and announced on Friday 22nd October.
