The creative young minds of Macedonia will get a unique chance to show their creative powers and be a part of the greatest advertising festival in the region

On the eve of one of the most prestigious advertising festivals in the region - Golden Drum (7th – 10th October 2014, Portorož, Slovenia), with the support and partnership of Makedonski Telekom, for the first time in Macedonia a competition will be organized titled Young Drummers, to which all young creative minds (born after 10th October 1984) are invited to participate by creating a poster-design for the topic: Stop texting while driving.

The competition will be open from 15th until 29th September, while the winner has been planned to be announced on 1st October 2014.

The author of the winning poster will get a free plane ticket to Portorož, hotel accommodation and a fully-paid participation fee for this eminent festival.

As a socially responsible company, Makedonski Telekom feels concerned in terms of the issue of traffic safety, which can often be endangered by an inappropriate use of the mobile devices and services that it offers; therefore, with this competition, it is aiming to raise the awareness, primarily of the young population, of the dangers arising from using mobile devices while being behind the wheel.

Using mobile telephones while driving is an ever increasing problem which entails a great danger. According to the world researches, 23% of traffic accidents are caused by the use of mobile telephones. While texting, your eyes are directed towards the screen for an average interval of 4.6 seconds, the reaction time is by 30% longer as compared to the reaction speed required if you are driving under the influence of 0.8 permilles of alcohol in your blood. Taking into consideration that the mobile telephone is always on us, its use while driving is becoming something even more dangerous than alcohol.

All interested young creative minds wishing to share their ideas and creative thoughts on the given topic can get more information pertaining to the rules for participating in the competition at the following link http://www.goldendrum.com/competition/off-drum/don-t-type-drive-macedonia/ .
