The Anambra State AIDS Control Agency (ANSACA) has launched its World AIDS Day HIV Challenge 1.0, calling on students, young people, content creators and members of the public to use their creativity to promote HIV awareness and combat stigma and discrimination.
The competition, running from Nov. 8 to 29, requires participants to produce an original three minute video promoting accurate HIV information, encouraging acceptance of people living with HIV and showcasing ANSACA’s contributions to the state’s HIV response.
To participate, contestants must upload their videos on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok, tag ANSACA’s official pages, use the hashtags #Ansacaworldaidsdaychallenge1.0 and #Ansacachallenge1.0, and follow the agency’s social media handles.
Participants must also submit their videos through WhatsApp in DOCUMENT FORMAT to 08069456397. The agency stressed that social media uploads without WhatsApp submission will not qualify as valid entries.
ANSACA encouraged young people and other interested residents to seize the opportunity to educate the public, challenge HIV misconceptions and promote a society free from stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.
