Via Libby over at Alcohol Policy UK I’ve seen the following:
STAFFORDSHIRE school pupils taking part in a campaign to reduce underage drinking are being given more time to enter a new competition.
Young people from several schools involved in a county council drive to target teen drinking are being encouraged to put their thinking caps on to challenge their peers’ perceptions about alcohol.
After numerous entries have flooded in, the deadline for the competition has been extended until Friday March 7.
The competition invites specific schools across the county to come up with a piece of thought-provoking new media about alcohol.
Martin, the person behind the competition says:
“We’re looking for a responsible piece of work which will really make young people think about alcohol and make sensible choices about it.
“We never set out to stamp out every young person ever sampling drink, because it’s just not realistic.
“However, we’re not looking for entries that simply glorify underage drinking.
“Judges will be looking for innovative uses of technologies and an interesting way to present young people’s thoughts and opinions on alcohol.”
