For our Indigenous Aunties and Uncles, Brothers and Sisters - We want to hear
your healthy lifestyle stories for Close the Gap this year. But we’re not asking
for something for nothing. We’ll be selecting finalists in 4 categories and
you’ll be voting for the winners. There is a $300 prize for the winners in each
of the healthy eating, quitting smoking, and getting exercise categories, and a
$500 prize for the winner of the category that brings all the categories
together in one story. There will also be prizes for a randomly selected entry,
and for a randomly selected comment or retweet.
Entries open on Thursday
March 21 and close at midnight (EDST) on Sunday March 24.
To enter, start
your story with #iclosethegapby – and finish your story with the hashtag that
relates to your story - healthy eating (#eat2livewell); getting exercise
(#juststartmoving); or quitting smoking (#quit4life). And please include your
photos to show us what you are doing…. a picture tells a thousand words. Have a
look at some of the examples that are up already.
The #iclosehtegapby
competition will be run on the NCIE, LIFE Programs, Indigenous MTB Project, and
EORA Fitness facebook pages, and on Twitter through @theNCIE; @Lifeprograms, and
@IndigenousX, and the Community of Excellence.
You can increase your
chances of getting selected in the finals by getting as many people as possible
to interact with you through likes, comments, or retweets.
Get your
entries in and show us what you are up to.
Anita's blog is largely about gratefulness - hers and others - but she also posts about things important to her including books, reading, literacy and Aboriginal arts and culture. The above photo was taken by Tammy Law at Anita's TEDx talk in Brisbane, 2013.
