Thousands of cash prizes to be won for schools and young people who promote the positive side of the internet!
March 11, 2013
We are delighted to launch our competition “What’s Your Story”for the 2nd year running and we want your school to participate! We believe that young people are part of the solution in the promotion of a safe and responsible online world for our community. This competition is a practical exercise to raise awareness within your school about being safe and responsible online.
So what’s this competition all about?
“What’s Your Story” offers young people a voice and engages them to think positively about the internet and how we all use it!
Simply create a 2 minute video or a poster (s) on the theme: “What does the good side of the Internet look like?” Once submitted online, it will be viewable by the public online and entries with the highest views and ratings will get shortlisted for our judges. That means that young people have to spread the word and encourage their peers to view the entries online too! This is an awareness raising exercise in itself. (Anyone 8 years + can enter). It is also an educational activity for the entire family; where they can view and rate all entries together.
Thousands of cash prizes to be won! The overall winner could be a school or an individual, in the form of a video or a poster and will receive €3,000 in prize money. Within each age category, €500 will be awarded to the winning poster and the winning video entry. (Entrants under 18 will require parental/guardian approval).
We have enclosed some flyers for teachers and everything is also available online: www.trendmicro.ie/whatsyourstory . (This includes our competition rules)
