At the parade, Blake Deacon, the winner of the Anzac literary award for best short story, was presented with a shield, certificate and $50 prize.

The literary competition received more than 90 entries from Year 6 and 7 students, making it a tough decision for judges Brian Nielsen of the Palmwoods RSL and teacher/librarian Chris Patterson.
