This competition has now closed. Winners have been notified.
‘A Man Called Otto’ is the comical and moving new film that tells the story of Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), a grumpy widower who feels he has lost is purpose, but finds his life turned around thanks to an unlikely friendship with a new neighbour.

Neighbours Every Day
Neighbours Every Day (NED) is Relationships Australia’s social connection campaign promoting the benefits of social connection and building capacity for all to make and maintain respectful relationships.
Over 20 years, Neighbour Day (our annual call to action day) has progressed from a reminder to connect with elderly neighbours to a celebration of respectful relationships and strong communities.
During the COVID pandemic, the need for each of us to have strong social support networks has never been more apparent. So too, has been the strength and resilience we draw from others when we “belong”.
During this time, we saw a reframing of the concept of “who” is a neighbour: from traditional concepts of the people “next door”, through to a much broader community of people with shared interests. These are the people from whom we each draw our much-needed support and inspiration. These people can be in our community, online, or even overseas. It is not about physical locality, but rather the creating a sense of community wherever that may be.
The Neighbours Every Day campaign provides simple, practical tools to create belonging, each and every day of the year.
