|
Friday, 06 February 2009 |
|
The World Hepatitis Alliance is calling on creative people around the globe to take part in the first World Hepatitis Day creative competition. The competition has two categories, and has been launched to encourage new and imaginative ways to get people talking about hepatitis B and C. Using words, images, our voices and ideas we can all help raise awareness of hepatitis B and C and we need your help! While 500 million people around the world are living with hepatitis B or C, most people don't even know they are infected or are aware of the potential risk factors. Enter this creative competition (see below for nomination form) and help make a world of difference in raising awareness about two viruses that kill 1.5 million people a year. Visit this link for more information. |
