About Buy My Duck
Buy My Duck is a fun competition that focuses on consumer protection issues. It is open to all WA school students from years 3 to 12 and is a great way to engage students' creative talent while they learn about their consumer rights.
Buy My Duck challenges students to create "A Survival Guide to Shopping" for young people that focuses on this year's topic "warranties and refunds."
Students should get creative. Last year's entries included posters, comic books, PowerPoint presentations, animations and blogs.
