The International Media Festival for Prevention 2023
Since 1990, the International Media Festival for Prevention (IMFP) has taken place every three years in the framework of the World Congress for Safety and Health at Work. The Media Festival offers an overview of films and multimedia productions about safety and health at work from all over the world and provides an opportunity for participants to present their media products to a major group of influential international safety and health professionals.
All films and multimedia productions, e.g. music videos, websites, apps, web based training, social media and software are admitted. Submissions can be made by national and international organisations, by enterprises or institutions as well as by agencies or filmmakers. We accept all media on safety and health at work produced from January 2019.
An international Jury will meet and will select all shortlisted and winning productions. The awards will be made in the presence of a large audience in the Special Media Session at the World Congress.
All shortlisted and winning productions will be presented to delegates in the Festival Cinema, which runs throughout the Congress.
Being part of the Media Festival also offers participants the opportunity to see how occupational safety and health is presented in different countries and by different cultures. It provides a unique opportunity to engage with and gain valuable insights from others around the world who share a passion for preventing workplace injuries and illnesses and are committed to improving the lives of workers everywhere.
Do not miss the chance to be part of the International Media Festival for Prevention 2023! The Festival will take place in the framework of the XXIII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work 2023 from 27-30 November 2023 in Sydney, Australia.
