Phillip Pendal Young Heritage Award
The Phillip Pendal Young Heritage Award (PPYHA) is a competition run by the City of South Perth Historical Society and provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the importance of the photographic record as a history of people and place in the City of South Perth.
It encourages excellence in historical writing and honours the work of the late Phillip Pendal, politician, historian, writer and founding president of the City of South Perth Historical Society.
The competition aims to attract the City’s students to participate in the recording and research of our heritage and has been run annually since 2010.
The late Hon. Phillip Pendal [1947-2008]
