About us
Created for young Victorians; judged by young Victorians
The competition opens 9 April to 12 May 2019
Overall, Australians drink too much alcohol. More alcohol fuels more harms like violence, disease and injuries. More alcohol means more profits for alcohol companies and they spend millions encouraging people to drink, particularly young people.
VicHealth’s Top Spin is a statewide competition asking young Victorians (18 – 29 years) to call out the sneaky tactics used by the alcohol industry to influence them to drink. We know the alcohol industry are champion spin doctors who play us through their tactics – making us think alcohol is all fun and good times while knowing it causes a lot of hurt.
Top Spin enables a generation of Victorians to share what doesn’t sit right with them and by calling out the tactics they have a chance to create change plus win $1,000. Entries can be submitted by text, image or a short video.
Last year, the competition ran over a five-week period, attracted over 230 entries. In 2019, we want to empower many more young Victorians to voice their concerns and spark a broader conversation about reducing alcohol product harm in our communities.
