Description

This competition is a unique opportunity to submit a short video (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, TikTok; 5 minutes or less), poster, or infographic that presents a clear, evidence-based message to the general public about vaping in Nova Scotia.

This competition will be accepting submissions from any individual living in or any organization based in Nova Scotia. Group submissions are welcomed. The content used in the video, poster, or infographic must be related to the findings of previous Smoke-Free Nova Scotia research projects. A summary of this evidence can be found here.
