As part of the nationwide poster competition "Colorful instead of blue - art against Komaslauf", the student Maria Swiridow from Rathenow took third place. The ceremonial award ceremony took place on July 11th in Berlin. With over 6,000 participants, the competition was a great success for the prevention campaign of DAK health on the subject of alcohol abuse.

expressive poster for coma running

The impressive poster of Maria Swiridow shows a young woman surrounded by blue figures with alcohol bottles as heads. In her message, she is committed to a responsible handling of alcohol and tells of the negative effects of drinking into young people. Especially in regions such as Rathenow, where leisure activities are missing for young people, alcohol consumption is strongly normalized among peers. Maria Swiridow wants to help stop this dangerous development.

nationwide success for Brandenburg

Third place for Maria Swiridow is also a great success for the state of Brandenburg. Over 6,000 students took part in the competition this year, which is organized by DAK health. This shows the great interest of the young people to deal with the topic of alcohol abuse and actively participate in the prevention campaign.

positive effect of the prevention campaign

The prevention campaign "Colorful instead of blue" has had sustainable success since 2010. So far, over 136,000 pupils have designed their creative posters for noise drinking. Studies in the IFT-NORD prove that the posters of the young people of the same age have a more sustainable effect than conventional warnings. Participants of “Colorful instead of blue” show a lower affinity for drinking into noise, which indicates the long -term effect of the prevention campaign.

recommendation for regular prevention efforts

Prof. Reiner Hanwinkel from the IFT-Nord emphasizes the importance of long-term alcohol prevention in schools. The “Colorful instead of blue” campaign should be regularly offered as part of the prevention efforts in order to make the consequences and dangers of drinking into the noise sustainably aware of the young people. This can create attentive awareness of the responsible use of alcohol.

anniversary of the poster competition

"Colorful instead of blue-art against Komaslauf" celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2024. The motto of the competition continues to appeal to pupils aged twelve to 17 to submit their best posterity against noise. The prevention campaign of DAK health shows that young artists can convey a credible message against alcohol abuse and thus make a valuable contribution to the health of young people.

strong message against Komaslauf

The award of Maria Swiridow for her impressive poster and her personal commitment is a great success for the student from Rathenow and the state of Brandenburg. With her strong message, she sets a sign against alcohol abuse among young people and contributes to the fact that awareness of a responsible handling of alcohol further strengthens. The third place in the "Colorful instead of blue" competition is recognition of their outstanding performance and their commitment to the health of young people.
