Luchemos por la Vida Awards 2018

    

Congratulations to all the winners awarded by Luchemos por la Vida

last November 27

for helping to build a future without deaths in traffic.

      Once more, Luchemos por la Vida held its Awards on November 278th in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Twenty awards were given this time to different institutions that work on improving road safety in our country.

     These sculptures were awarded for the first time in 1996, to people who contributed remarkably to road safety and helped raise awareness amongst the public. The Luchemos por la Vida Awards is an annual ceremony which usually takes place by the end of the year and is covered by the main mass media of our country. It’s been 23 years already since we started giving these awards, and plans are to continue on the following years.

     The sculpture that is presented as the award is a Greek representation of a Victory, placed on a wheel, symbolizing the victory of life over deaths caused by vehicles.

 

     These awards were thought as a public recognition of positive actions of people in different mass media who help promote traffic safety in every form, which includes also professional drivers who have been singled out for their safe driving, teachers who encourage traffic education projects in their spheres of action, journalists, professionals, companies, etc.
