                    Earlier this year, the ABC called on high school students across our city to share their stories in the Takeover Melbourne competition.

                    ​The competition, now in its third year, will once again showcase the brightest young storytellers from across the city. 

                    Hundreds of young Melburnians, from the Mornington Peninsula to Wyndham, took up the challenge of sharing their stories, which this year include connecting to culture through traditional death rites; discussing the experience of being a first-generation migrant; coming out as asexual; and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one. 

                    Their stories feature crochet kings and keen cooks, ice skaters, pianists and Kuchipudi dancers, showcasing a diverse and modern Melbourne. 

                    The City of Melbourne worked with councils across the entire metropolitan area as part of the Takeover Melbourne project.​

                    Congratulations to all the winners. ​​​
