CDC's Injury Center 20th Anniversary
Celebrating the Past, Protecting the Future
This year marks a significant milestone for the field of Injury and Violence Prevention, as we are celebrating the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control’s (Injury Center) 20 years of service and dedication to saving lives and protecting people from injuries and violence. We see this as a celebration not only of the accomplishments of the Injury Center, but a celebration of the work of the field of injury and violence prevention. During this anniversary year, we hope that you will join us in Celebrating the Past. Protecting the Future.
Seeing My World through a Safer Lens Video Contest
We invite you to participate in the video contest by submitting a short, creative video that answers the question “What does Injury and Violence Prevention Look Like in My Community?” The video should highlight real-life stories and examples of how injuries and violence are being prevented in your community.
Winners will be selected in the following three categories: General Public View, Injury and Violence Professional View, or Student View. The winning video in each category will receive a $500 cash prize and will be featured on the CDC's Injury Center Website for thousands to see.
The Contest runs now through July 31, 2012. Contest guidelines, rules and submission information can be found at Safer Lens Challenge.

February - March 2012: Heads Up Film Festival
In recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month and CDC Injury Center's 20th anniversary, the CDC Foundation in partnership with CDC is launching the Heads Up Film Festival. Help give a voice to brain injury—a once “Silent Epidemic.” We encourage you to send in videos to experience a supportive community, share your personal stories, and help create a national conversation on brain injury. Videos can be posted anytime from now through the end of March 2012.
