Global Road Safety Film Awards

First UN Global Road Safety Week (23 - 29 April 2007)

World Youth Assembly


A ceremony to grant awards to the finalists of a short film competition took place during the World Youth Assembly. The competition was co-organized by LASER EUROPE and la Prévention Routière Internationale, and was one of the key global activities of the First UN Global Road Safety Week. The competition sought to recognize the contributions of young people from around the world who have created useful and compelling films on road safety. Awardees were selected by an international jury in three categories: campaigns, education and driver training. The short-listed films were presented to the Assembly and finalists were invited to receive their awards.
