Overview
The JN Foundation Motorcycle Helmet Safety Photo Advocacy & Visual Arts Competition
The competition will empower participants to champion safer helmet-wearing practices among Jamaican motorcyclists and pedal cyclists through the lens of photography. By capturing real-life moments on our roads, the project will raise awareness and drive advocacy for life-saving helmet use.
Additionally, the competition will feature a visual arts segment where younger participants will design creative helmet decor. These young creatives, often within the circle of influence of motorcyclists or future riders themselves, will help spread the message of road safety and responsible helmet use from a fresh perspective.
