Get connected 007

In time-honoured tradition, the Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) is organising many diverse activities for the International Thalassaemia Day in 2017. Celebrated on the 8th of May every year, these activities aim to sensitise the decision and policy makers and the health and patient committees at large on thalassaemia: How to prevent, treat and cure in a patient-centred manner.

This year we are delighted to invite participants of all ages and from all countries to participate in the following events:
• Photography contest
• Video challenge and
• Story competition (launched this year for the first time).

The theme of all three competitions this year is:

GET CONNECTED! SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE AND FIGHT FOR A BETTER TOMORROW IN THALASSAEMIA

Let us get an overwhelming number of experiences through stories, videos and photographs. Our target for this year is 2000 pictures, 25 videos and 260 stories.
By sending your photographs, videos and/or stories, you are participating in the long-standing efforts of TIF to spread awareness on thalassaemia. The authenticity and emotion in your photographs, stories and/or videos will highlight the experience of surviving with thalassaemia and reach more and more audiences every day. TIF will use some of this imagery during its non-profit dissemination activities. Click here to see the full terms and conditions of all three TIF’s contests.

HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE
Photography Contest
TIF invites participants of all ages and from all countries to join this contest with topics that are relevant to the theme for the International Thalassaemia Day 2017.
