CYPRIOT IS ONE OF THE FIVE WINNERS OF THE EUROPEAN ROAD SAFETY CONTEST     

Maria Demosthenous from Cyprus is one of the five winners of the "Become a road safety reporter" summer contest 2008 organised by the European Road Safety Charter and sponsored in Cyprus by Cyta.

Last July, the European Road Safety Charter once again called on its 1,200 members in all the countries of Europe to inform and encourage the public to take part in the contest by preparing a report (in the form of an article, photo report, short film, etc) on Road Safety. The prize for each of the five winners was an all-expenses-paid weekend for two in Barcelona while the winning reports will be publicised in the first edition of the European Road Safety Charter Journal.

Cyta, as one of the first organisations in Europe to sign the European Road Safety Charter, committed itself in 2004 to the common European goal of reducing the number of fatal road accidents. The Organisation is particularly sensitive to and active on this issue and responded to the call by promoting the contest among its own personnel as well as the general public.

The contest attracted participants from 21 European countries. The five winners, from five different EU member states, were chosen for the quality, creativity and innovation of their articles.

The success of Ms. Demosthenous, a Cyta employee, in the contest is an honour for Cyprus. Her article concerned her personal experience with her child who, after a certain age, neglected to wear a seat belt in the car.

The Chief Executive Officer of Cyta, Mr Photis Savvides, has warmly congratulated Ms. Demosthenous on becoming one of the five winners of the contest.
