Covid message challenge for Ōtara rangatahi
Ōtara-based social service organisation Te Tai-awa o te Ora Trust is asking rangatahi to come up with messages to encourage their peers to get the Covid vaccine.
Organiser Tiere Riki says the Haumaru Hard Ōtara competition is open to Ōtara residents aged 12 to 23.
They’re asked to come up with an image, slogan or jingle.
The winning image and slogan will be printed on 1500 T-shirts for free distribution to rangatahi
The winning jingle will be recorded, with other entrants getting the chance to deliver their lines on stage at a vaccination event at the competition end.
“We’ve jumped on board with Te Puni Kōkiri, Turuki Health as well as Ōtara Health Charitable Trust. Looking forward to running the competition for rangatahi and getting some information form their point of view and what Covid looks like to them in looking after their whanau,” Ms Riki says.
