Since 1984, the State, Regional and five Wildcard finalists who were in the running for National TV Winners were judged by the three major categories of Design, Performance, and Drama/Production - but there is a difference between the live events and the TV special. The judges adjudicating the performances judged them from a TV perspective. The sixth of the three schools that were worthy TV champions had themes ranging from a Chinese film that few had seen or heard of (2004 = Northmead High School; Sword of Qin - NSW), Northmead’s historical place in history with a completely contemporary take on an overused concept (2005 = Northmead High School; Sins: Vice or Virtue - NSW), and a cleverly addressing of September 11 as a representation of fear within society (2006 = St. Columba's College; Fear Or No Fear - VIC).
