Deadline: May 31, 2020

Entries are open for the “Expose Tobacco Industry Manipulation, Save the Next Generation” Global Media Competition 2020. The Global Center for Good Governance in Tobacco Control (GGTC)*, a partner in STOP (Stopping Tobacco Organizations and Products), is organizing its first Global Media Competition to seek compelling visual designs that portray how the tobacco industry manipulates information to sell its deadly products.

The competition builds upon this year’s theme for World Health Organization’s World No Tobacco Day: “Protecting youth from industry manipulation and preventing them from tobacco and nicotine use.” Designs should aim to inform youth about industry manipulation and to prompt them to participate in countering the industry. The winning graphics will be shared with advocates from around the world to support their efforts to protect youth from being targeted by tobacco companies.

The “Expose Tobacco Industry Manipulation, Save the Next Generation” Global Media Competition is organized by the GGTC, a partner in STOP, a global tobacco industry watchdog, with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
