The Embrace Life Campaign has received a warm welcome from experts and young people from around the world! While you are reading this and are still to submit a photo to show us how you commit to road safety, you have until the 13th November to take part. The photos we have received so far are incredibly inspiring and all will be showcased on The World Day of Remembrance 2011.
How do you Embrace Life? There’s is still lots of time to take part in the Embrace Life Campaign and to submit a photo how you embrace life and commit to road safety. The best entry will be judges by our expert panel of judges that have been carefully handpicked for their media experience and photography expertise. You can meet the judges here:
We are giving the best photo entry 1000 Euros for their own road safety project. Just think what YOU could do with that money for your road safety project and know that you will have YOURS support to make it a reality. Last year, we gave 1000 Euros to a project in The Gambia.
What is the Embrace Life Photo Competition?
We want you to show us how you embrace life! We all cherish the precious nature of life and we know that 1.3 million people are killed every year on the world’s roads and millions more are seriously injured. So, as supporters of road safety, we want you to take a picture of yourself (and of your loved ones if you want) holding one of your favorite items showing that you embrace life and promise to stay safe on the road.
This can be done in two or more ways:
Reasons to embrace life: Embracing your own life by taking a picture holding your favorite item, this item will be something that symbolizes your love of life: (candle, flower) or an object of choice (family picture, football or other sport item, indispensable item: mobile, pen and pad, paint brush and easel, a young family member, baby etc)
Remembering a road crash victim by holding a photo of them or holding their favorite possession and taking a a photo of this.
- Taking a picture of road safety in action – this could be a photo of you holding/wearing your hemlet, a seatbelt or even high visibility clothing. This is an option if you can’t think of your favorite Embrace Life items!
