FINDING NEMO BIG WINNER
21 July 2003

The movie Finding Nemo isn't even out yet but people are still getting excited about it, especially Nina Zelina who was drawn from thousands of entries to win a huge Nemo plush toy in AQWA's July school holiday competition.

Nina, aged 10 from Mindarie, entered the competition by working out whether statements made about certain animals - that are both in the movie and at AQWA - were true or false.

Staff at AQWA are very jealous of Nina's prize according to marketing Coordinator, Chris Hardwick.

"We had a lot of offers from staff members to buy the Nemo plush toy, which we obviously had to turn down! We're really pleased that we were able to offer such a fantastic prize," he said.

AQWA's competition ran over the July school holidays and gave visitors the opportunity to win heaps of daily prizes and to see some of the real animals behind the characters - including clown fish.

The movie Finding Nemo will be released in Western Australia on August 28th 2003.
