World Stroke Day Campaign Awards 2017 - Call for Applications We know that our members, partners and supporters pulled out all the stops for World Stroke Day 2017. So many people got behind the campaign and spoke with one voice about the need for everyone to take stroke prevention seriously.
Our map of World Stroke Day activity was densely packed with pins, showing a world united in tackling stroke. Social media channels buzzed with messages about stroke prevention. While some people were moved to sing and dance, (yes, we're looking at you Brazil!) others ran marathons through city streets, many shared moving personal stories of loss and the challenges of stroke recovery.
We are in awe of the energy and creativity of all our World Stroke Day supporters and, as part of our commitment to recognize and share best practice, we are pleased to invite WSO Members, partners and supporters to apply for a 2017 World Stroke Day Campaign Award. You can apply on behalf of your own organization, or nominate a society or individual that you think did an exceptional job in raising awareness of stroke risk.
There are three categories for award submissions:
- Individual Achievement Award
- Best campaign in a Low- to Middle-Income Country
- Best campaign in a High Income Country
The deadline for awards is 30th November 2017. Winners will be announced in February 2018 and will receive a year's free membership of the World Stroke Organisation, opening the door to a range of benefits including member rates on World Stroke Congress Registration, free access to the International Journal of Stroke and the World Stroke Organisation newsletter. We will also profile your achievement in our blog and popular social media channels.
