BASEL, Switzerland – Ascensia Diabetes Care has relaunched its “This is Diabetes” art and photo competition in support of World Diabetes Day 2022. The competition aims to highlight the importance of diabetes care and education, amplifying the International Diabetes Federations’ official theme of Access to Diabetes Care for 2021-2023, and its focus this year on Education to Protect Tomorrow. Ascensia’s global competition is seeking original art or photography that illustrates the need for access to quality diabetes care and education. “As a company solely focused on diabetes, IDF’s World Diabetes Day is a cornerstone of Ascensia’s calendar, and we are proud to support it for the 7th consecutive year,” said Rob Schumm, president. “It not only brings the community together but provides a great opportunity to spread important messages far beyond those who work in, care for, or live with diabetes every day.” The winner will be announced Nov. 14, World Diabetes Day, with the winner receiving €6,000 to donate to a diabetes charity of their choice, with €3,000 and €1,000 donations awarded for second and third place, respectively. Submissions are open until Oct. 30 at www.thisisdiabetes.com. The judging panel includes members of the diabetes online community, professional artists, Ascensia employees and an Eversense brand ambassador. They will be looking for creativity, storytelling and connection to this year’s theme.
