Australia Post wants the nation’s children to help it find a new mascot.
Young Australians are being asked to select from one of five iconic native animals (pictured) and come up with a creative name.
Head of Consumer Marketing at Australia Post, Corrina Brazel said the child who submitted the chosen name would win an overnight experience at Taronga Zoo for them and their family (two adults and two children), plus a $2,000 flight gift card to help get them there.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Aussie kids to get creative and help Australia Post celebrate Australia’s unique wildlife,” Ms Brazel said.
“We have narrowed our search down to five Aussie animals — the potoroo, the koala, the kookaburra, the Australian kelpie and the wombat — but we need the children of Australia to help us choose just one to be our mascot,” she said.
Ms Brazel said once the animal was chosen, it would be seen in Post Offices, Australia Post’s educational materials, events and may even be pictured in an Australia Post uniform.
Children have until 20 February to submit their suggestions and the names will be judged by an Australia Post panel, with the mascot to be announced in April.
To enter, children must complete an online form and submit their suggested name at this PS News link.
