Community Safety Youth Competition

Newry and Mourne Community Safety Partnership are working towards making Newry and Mourne a safer place for those who live, work and visit the area. We aim to reduce crime, reduce the fear of the crime and reduce anti-social behaviour.

As you know the environment in which our children and young people are growing up in has changed in recent years. In order to encourage the young people in the District to think about their own safety and the dangers in their environment we have developed a competition, which is open to young people aged between 4 and 18. The task is for the children / young people to come up with a storyboard for a 30-second film clip. The storyboard should have 6-8 pictures with short sentences underneath to explain the story. I have attached examples of storyboards for your information.

Four winning storyboards will be filmed and broadcast on the Newry and Mourne Community Television Network. Storyboards should be based on one of the following themes:

1) Anti-social Behaviour

2) Fear of Crime

3) Drugs and Alcohol

Winners will receive a PSP console and their name and the school / youth club logo will be on the film clip when it is broadcast.

Competition entries should be submitted by 12pm on Friday 8th February 2008.
