The Tu Punto de Mira, promoted by the Spanish Network of Health Promoting Universities (REUPS) and supported by the Government Delegation for the National Plan on Drugs of the Ministry of Health, has opened the inscriptions for the 14th edition of its competition ‘ Addictions: Your Point of View” competition. With the aim of promoting critical reflection and awareness of the risks of addictive behaviours, this competition seeks to encourage the creation of preventive messages among young people, especially through social networks.
This year, the competition is divided into three categories, offering prizes for the best creations on various digital platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. In the YouTube category, participants will be eligible for a prize of up to 5,000 euros. The Instagram and TikTok competitions, now in their 5th edition, will award the winners with 1,200 euros and 1,300 euros respectively.
The initiative not only seeks to raise awareness among the UNEATLANTICO university community, but also to amplify the voice of young people, who are the main recipients of preventive messages in this area. This type of activity highlights the importance of using digital tools responsibly, promoting health and wellness values among young people.
The Tu Punto programme, with the collaboration of 64 partner universities, continues to be a benchmark in the fight against addictions, seeking to get participants to generate authentic and creative content that raises awareness of the dangers of drug use and other addictive behaviours.
Entries are now open and can be submitted via the competition’s official website. The deadline will be available until the end of this year, so students from Spanish universities are invited to participate and to spread their preventive message through their social networks.
