On the Spot: Two Handshapes, One Creative NZSL Story!

Pam Croskery shares how she and Nicholas Lessing won the Wallace Williams Memorial Trophy in 2007. Due to a shortage of entrants, they were each given two handshapes and asked to create a NZSL story on the spot. Their quick creativity paid off, with the story proving popular and leading to a surprise win!
