The MobileMuster Schools Competition is back for 2025!
Uncover the hidden secrets of mobile phones, discover recycling magic and give your students a chance to win awesome prizes!
Students create a drawing, photograph or short film (60 seconds), encouraging their community to recycle their old mobile phones.
Entry is open to all primary and secondary students in Australia. Entries close on 1 November 2025. Click here to head to the MobileMuster site for all the T&Cs!
Inspire recycling action!
Your students don't have to be experienced artists to enter MobileMuster's Schools Competition, and you don't need to create all new lessons!
All your students need is an idea, imagination and motivation. All you need are the lessons we've created with MobileMuster!
So what are you waiting for?! Scroll down for FREE lesson plans designed around this year's theme—What's in a phone?—to help make entering easy!
