The competition will take place at Victoria University's Footscray Park Campus. It will also be broadcast live on several platforms, so the candidates' family, friends and the audience can cheer them on.

Each contestant will make a presentation with the topic of ‘one world one family’ for two minutes and perform in a talent show for three minutes.
