Exploring family life

07/10/2013

AN INSTAGRAM competition is exploring respect in families, bullying and relationships.
City of Greater Dandenong youth ambassadors have launched a community-wide social media campaign to raise awareness of issues surrounding these areas.
The photo contest invites young people in the community to use images to promote respect.
One photo will be selected as the Instagram of the Day during each day of the competition, to feature on the Youth Services Facebook page.
The competition will run until 25 October. A winner chosen at random will be announced on 13 November and will receive an iPod Touch. Other prizes will be awarded to runners-up.
