In May of this year, 56 Dean Street launched a campaign asking people to submit ideas for an ad campaign that would make an impact to reduce rates of HIV, or increase education about sexual health amongst gay and bisexual men.

Following a month-long voting period, the community decided the winner of the HIV Testing category to be Ryan Arya’s ‘Undiagnosed HIV can be a death sentence’ campaign, which can be seen at their Facebook page:

The winning video for What-Would-You-Tell-The-19-Year-Old-You? was filmed by Daniel Kaye, a visual communications graduate, and features his friend, Anthony Hyde, who explains what he would have told his 19-year-old self. This is below. Hooray! Well done to both. They’re both very powerful, we think.

The Community Campaign will open the call for entries for Phase 2 in November. Details of the entry requirements for will be coming shortly, so if you’d like to be involved in the next Community Campaign make sure you ‘like’ the Facebook page to keep up-to-date: www.facebook.com/thecommunitycampaign.com
