How Can You Participate?

What You First Need to Do:

Look around your community and identify the road safety issues that stand out such as riding without helmets, speeding, or illegal street racing.

Step 1: Reflect and Plan

Ask yourself:

  • What road safety issue is most important in your community?
  • Who is most affected by this issue? Students, families, or the wider community? You could even ask your friends, family, or community members through a quick survey or short interviews to find out.
  • What would you like to change to encourage safer motorcycle usage among your peers?
  • Why does this issue matter to you personally or to people around you?

Step 2: Ideate Your Campaign

Now that you’ve chosen an issue, think about how you want to spread your road safety message. A strong campaign should:

  • Have a clear goal🎯
    What change do you want to see? (e.g. more students wearing helmets, less speeding)
  • Target the right audience👥
    Who do you want to reach? Friends, classmates, or the wider community? Is your campaign easy for people in your community to understand?
  • Be creative💡
    Think of fun and engaging ways to share your message.
  • Show how it works 🛠️
    Plan how your campaign will run in real life. Where would it be shown? How would people take part? How will you know it’s a success?

✨ Your campaign idea could take many forms, such as:

  • Designing an eye-catching and interactive poster to hang in school or community spaces.
  • Producing a short video, TikTok, or Instagram reel.
  • Running a road safety pledge drive in school.
  • Performing a skit, song, or spoken word piece at an assembly.
  • Organising a small community or school event on road safety.
  • Painting a mural in your school or community highlighting safe road behaviours.
  • Working with teachers to integrate road safety reminders in class activities.
  • Partnering with your community (e.g. local shops, parent groups, or authorities) to spread awareness or improve safety conditions near schools.

Step 3: Submit Your Campaign Idea

  • Ask a parent or guardian for permission to enter.
  • Online Submission: Complete and submit your campaign idea through the Google Form available Here.
  • Offline Submission: Download the entry form Here, complete all required fields, and send it to [email protected]. Please ensure your email subject line follows this format:
