DATTA Qld Student Subject Awards 2026

What an incredible response we have had to the 2026 DATTA Qld Student Subject Awards!

With more than 100 entries received from schools across Queensland, this year’s awards have showcased an outstanding range of creativity, technical skill, innovation and problem-solving across our Design and Technologies subject areas.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to view the shortlisted entries and cast their votes for our 2026 State Champions. Most importantly, thank you to the teachers who nominated their students and provided them with an opportunity to have their achievements recognised beyond their own classrooms.

The Student Subject Awards not only celebrate our talented young people, but also showcase the diverse and exciting work taking place in Design and Technologies classrooms across Queensland.

Congratulations to our 2026 State Champions and congratulations to every student who was nominated this year. The quality and variety of work submitted was something our students, teachers and schools should be incredibly proud of.
