In August 2026, the Martin-Lysicrates Prize and The Martin Children’s Walk took to the streets of Sydney and Parramatta.
For one week, 34 banners brightened Macquarie Street near Martin Place in Sydney, and Parramatta Square and Church Street in Parramatta. Seventeen banners celebrated each initiative, featuring messages including “Drama Meets Democracy”, “Three Plays. One Vote”, “Watch. Vote. Inspire” and “Big Ideas. Young Minds”, alongside “A Walk That Inspires Generations” and “Recognising inspiring stories”.
The campaign also reached regional audiences, with digital billboards displayed for two weeks at 10 locations in Coolangatta Airport and Toowoomba, supported by strong engagement from the local Education Department.
