Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit Photo Contest for the Fourth United Nations Global Road Safety Week
GET INVOLVED IN THE FOURTH UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK
The Fourth UN Global Road Safety Week will be held from May 8-14, 2017. The Week will focus on speed and what can be done to address this key risk factor for road traffic deaths and injuries. Speed contributes to around one-third of all fatal road traffic crashes in high-income countries, and up to half in low- and middle-income countries.
You can get involved in UN Global Road Safety Week by helping the Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit (JH-IIRU) draw attention to speed. To bring awareness to this key risk factor, JH-IIRU will launch a photo contest between April 12-May 3, 2017. For this contest, we want you to send us photos that capture speed enforcement initiatives. Photos could depict features that reduce speed, speed enforcement or education about the dangers of speeding.
Prizes:
First prize: Apple iPad
Second prize: $100 Amazon gift card
How to Enter:
Submit no more than three photographs owned or taken by you between April 12 -May 3, 2017. We will not accept entries after May 3. To enter, first email your original photos (image size must be at least 1600x1200 pixels, JPEG format) to JHSPH.iiru@jhu.edu. Please include your name, where the photo was taken and a breif caption. Next, tweet your photos, tag @HopkinsINJURIES and use "#JHIIRUSpeed." Specify where the photo was taken and provide a brief caption. You can enter all three photos in one tweet, or post the photos in separate tweets.
Eligibility:
Open to all with the exception of faculty, staff and students associated with JH-IIRU.
Please note that prizes will only be awarded if there are at least three photographs submitted by at least two individuals.
