Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit Photo Contest Winners

Published

The Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit is pleased to announce the winners of its photo contest in honor of the Fourth United Nations Global Road Safety Week. 

We would like to thank everyone who entered our photo contest! Your participation brought awareness to speed management and what can be done to address this key risk factor for road traffic deaths and injuries. We received many great entries that captured speed enforcement initiatives including speed cameras, police officers enforcing the speed limit, speed limit signs, speed bumps and education. 

For the contest, participants were asked to send up to three original photos that captured speed enforcement initiatives. Each entry was judged on the basis of content (relevance to category) and quality (e.g. lighting, composition, focus) by an independent panel of judges. 

Congratulations to our first and second place winners:
