Announcing Winners of Safer Lens Video Contest
Many videos were submitted, but only a few can be the winners!
Congratulations to the winners of the Seeing My World through a Safer Lens Video Contest!
- Professional Category:Safety Begins with You
- Student Category:Protect Your Brain, Wear a Helmet
- General Public Category:Things Men Say to Men who Say Things to Women on the Streets
These winners will receive $500.00 each, and the videos will be featured on the Challenge’s main page and on CDC Injury Center web pages and social media channels.
We received 25 eligible submissions on topics from older adult falls to cyber bullying, from helmet safety to child passenger safety, and from violence prevention to teen driving safety. Even though there was a wide representation of injury and violence topic areas to choose from, only three videos could be selected as winners.
Injuries and violence affect everyone, regardless of age, race, or economic status. And Americans 1 to 44 years in age are more likely to die from an injury- like a motor vehicle crash, fall, or homicide- than any other cause. But injuries and violence are preventable! The research done at the
CDC Injury Center leads to a better understanding of injuries and violence and shows how they can be prevented.
Thank you all for your participation in this contest, and for all of the work that you do to prevent injuries and violence in your communities!
