federal victory "Colorful instead of blue": Young people from Bavaria wins DAK competition against the noise drinking

This year the nationwide DAK poster competition "Colorful instead of blue-art against Komaslauf" was won by a young person from Bavaria. The 16-year-old Max Mayer from Munich convinced the jury with his creative poster on the subject of alcohol abuse. Around 6,000 students from all over Germany took part in the competition, which took place for the 15th time. The Federal Government Commissioner for Addictive and Drug Questions, Burkhard Blienert, acted as the Federal Service Lord of the competition. The ceremonial award ceremony took place today in the Federal Ministry of Health in Berlin.

Since the start of the competition in 2010, a total of around 136,000 pupils between the ages of 12 and 17 have designed creative posters against alcohol excesses. The prevention campaign has proven to be extremely effective, as current studies show. The concept of "colorful instead of blue" aims to sensitize young people to the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption and show alternatives.

The jury particularly praised the artistic design and the clear message of Max Mayer's winning poster. The poster impressively shows the negative effects of alcohol on physical and mental health. "Max managed to develop an expressive representation that encourages thinking and encourages young people to make conscious decisions regarding their alcohol consumption," said Andreas Storm, CEO of DAK health.

The federal victory is not only a great honor for Max Mayer, but also with prize money of 500 euros. The 16-year-old is convinced that alcohol is not a solution to problems and that a conscious handling of your own body is important. His poster is intended to encourage other young people to work against noise.

The prevention campaign "Colorful instead of blue - art against coma running" has proven to be an effective means to sensitize young people to the risks of alcohol abuse. Studies show that young people who took part in the competition are less inclined to consume excessively alcohol. This underlines the importance of long -term prevention measures and the need to clarify young people at an early stage about the risks of drinking.

DAK health will continue the campaign in the future and work together with schools and other institutions to educate young people about the dangers of alcohol abuse. By open and honest communication at eye level, young people can be encouraged to make conscious decisions and to develop healthy use of alcohol.
