The children of Australia now have the opportunity to help select and name a new mascot for Australia Post.
After choosing one of five iconic Australian animals as the new mascot, it’s time to put on those thinking caps and come up with a creative new name.
The child who submits the chosen name will 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 pay for the journey.
Australia Post head of consumer marketing Corrina Brazel said this was an exciting opportunity for Aussie kids to get creative and help Australia Post celebrate the nations unique wildlife.
“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,” Ms Brazel said.
“Once we have our chosen animal, you’ll see our mascot in post offices, in our educational materials and at events.
“You might even see it in an Australia Post uniform.”
To enter and go in the draw to win the prize all kids need to do it, visit auspost.com.au/mascot, complete the online form, and submit the suggested name.
Children have until Sunday, 20 February at 11.59pm AEDT to submit their suggestions.
Names will be judged by an Australia Post panel, with the mascot to be announced in April, 2022.
