Players from Munster Rugby visited St Vincent’s Secondary School in Cork this week to talk to students about Trend Micro’s 2016 What’s Your Story? video and poster competition.
The digital safety competition, which awards up to €8,000 in cash prizes, encourages individuals, schools as well as youth and community groups to share their personal online experiences and this year they will be addressing the question: What does the Internet mean to you?
“We’ve asked many questions and tackled many themes since the launch of the Irish competition in 2012. This year we want to know how the Internet impacts young people’s lives – for better or for worse,” said Avril Ronan, global programme manager for Internet Safety at Trend Micro EMEA.
“Munster Rugby is happy to be here today in St Vincent’s Secondary School supporting the What’s Your Story? competition and finding out what the internet really means to young people; everything from the good to the bad, the necessary and the not so needed. The Internet is a great place to be and this competition really highlights that,” said Enda Lynch, commercial & marketing manager with Munster Rugby.
“There are often gaps or misperceptions between the reality of the internet for a young person verses what we as adults perceive or worry about. The Internet is a very powerful tool but that can be harnessed in a very creative and positive way and that’s what we want our young people to show us this year,” added Ronan.
All video and poster submissions are available on the website for public viewing, rating and comments. Those with the highest views and ratings will be shortlisted for our judges from Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, Smart Futures, TY Ireland and Webwise.
Closing date for entries is 12 April 2016, public viewing and rating ends 26 April with winners announced week of 16 May 2016.
