Your Three Words!


Conference 2010
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD IN THREE WORDS! 
  • What do you want the world to know about living with albinism? 
  • What message or words of wisdom would you share with a young child with albinism or the parent of a newly diagnosed child? 
  • And what if you only had THREE WORDS to answer these questions?! 
If you think you're up to the challenge, we want to hear from you! 

NOAH is working on compiling a short, inspirational video to celebrate the spirit of albinism similar to our "Amazing" video from 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dlzHsQMmF0).  In the same vein as a recent Good Morning America video project (http://abcnews.go.com/US/words-live-event-good-morning-america/story?id=14469378), we are inviting people to submit video clips and/or photos sharing their "three words" of wisdom about life with albinism. 
  • Clips should be relatively short (no more than 30 seconds, please) and should show you clearly sharing your three words. 
  • You can hold up a sign that has your three-word message on it or say it out loud - or both. 
  • Remember, we're a low vision crowd so make sure that your signs are big and, if you're using audio, that it's clear. 
  • Submissions can be photographs or video clips. 
  • Respondents are encouraged to do their photo or video clip somewhere interesting, such as in front of a local landmark, in a scenic location or somewhere significant to you. 

We want the world to know what it's really like to live with albinism and what better way to do that than by celebrating your unique perspective, talents and joys.

Please send your submissions or questions to yourthreewords@albinism.org. And, remember, you only get THREE WORDS so make 'em count!

Submission deadline is Tuesday, May 1, 2012. You will receive an email confirming our receipt of your submission.
