SOSZNANIE (AWARENESS): OPEN SOCIAL POSTER COMPETITION ON THE HIV/AIDS ISSUES
14.08.2006 News
The Competition is aimed at raising awareness, fostering the
positive values and tolerant attitude towards people living with
HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is a current and major issue in Russia and
surrounding countries, where the level of ARV treatment medication
availability is low, sensitisation material is scarce, and people
living with HIV/AIDS often suffer from social exclusion, stigma and
discrimination.
Eligibility. The Competition is held open
for young designers from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Moldova and the
Russian Federation. The entrants must be up to 35 years old.
Target
audience. It is particularly significant to raise HIV/AIDS awareness
among youngsters, to prevent their possible infection. That is why the
entries submitted to the Competition shall be addressed in the first
place to the young audience and shall be created by young authors.
Awards.
Entries selected for the Final Round of the Competition will be
published on the web site of the project: www.artsandaids.ru and
displayed on one of exhibition venues in Moscow. After the Jury has
nominated the winners, 5 best posters will be printed and distributed
through the network of stakeholders created during implementation of
the project. The winners will be awarded UNESCO Diplomas.
The Award Ceremony and the Opening of the Poster Exhibition will take place on 1 December 2006 (World AIDS Day).
