Movember Photo Competition Manual
Dear lovely SCORAngels worldwide! As announced in the SCORA FB group a few days ago, the next big campaign in which SCORA will be involved is Movember. As some of you may already know, it’s an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November. The main goal is to raise awareness of male cancers, such as the prostate and testis ones, as well as tackling other health issues that mostly affect men. By encouraging people to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths as well as promote healthier lifestyles among men. Setting this goal as a start up point, the first activity the SCORA International Team would like to propose is none other than a special Movember NMO Photo Competition!
What are the different steps to participate? 1. Promote this manual and spread it around to make sure it reaches the maximum amount of people possible in your NMO. 2. Encourage people to take individual Movember themed pictures. You can take yours in many different ways, for example: Draw a moustache on your finger and take a photo with your finger held to your upper lip ; print moustaches out and hold it to your face, grow a moustache etc. You can be creative when it comes to the picture itself! There are no limits to your imagination! :) 3. Gather as many pictures of people with moustaches from your NMO and get all the photos into one picture like a collage (see the one the SCORA IT did ). Of course you can take group pictures as well or combine collage and group pictures. Try to make one big and original picture per NMO, the more people the merrier. 4. Send the picture plus an interesting and relevant fact about men’s health (it can be either about male reproductive cancers or other health issues that men are more prone to suffer etc). Both things need to be sent to scorad@ifmsa.org before the 15th of November. On the 16th all the pictures will be displayed in an album on the IFMSA-SCORA FB site with the fact as the picture’s description. What’s in it for you? The photo with the most ‘likes’ by the end of November will win the competition. The winning NMO’s picture will be published on IFMSA’s official site and included into next year’s campaign! Go ahead people, we can’t wait to see all your wonderful photos! <3
