Each year Blue Shield Australia runs a MayDay campaign throughout the month of May to raise awareness of disaster preparedness and recovery among archives, museums, galleries, local history groups, managers of sites or monuments and other cultural heritage organisations.
For MayDay 2019, Blue Shield Australia is focussing on disaster planning via disaster bins and there are two exciting competitions to promote disaster bins.
Competition 1: #OurDisasterBin*
Take a photo of your disaster bin (be as creative as you wish)
Upload it to social media using the hashtag #OurDisasterBin
Complete the online entry form at http://blueshieldaustralia.org.au/mayday/ for a chance to win a $500 voucher from Preservation Australia
*Open to all Australian galleries, libraries, archives, museums, heritage places and historical societies
Competition 2: Win a Disaster Bin Competition**
For remote and regional cultural organisations that currently do not have a disaster bin, your organisation can win a fully-stocked Disaster Bin, delivered to your site.
Are you an Australian regional Museum, Library, Gallery, Archive, Historical Society or Heritage place and need a Disaster Recovery Bin to help in emergencies?
Complete the online form at http://blueshieldaustralia.org.au/mayday/ and enter the competition to win one of three disaster bins.
**Open to Regional and Remote Australian galleries, libraries, archives, museums, heritage places and historical societies
Entries close for both competitions 24th MAY 2019, winners announced 31st MAY 2019. Find the entry forms at http://blueshieldaustralia.org.au/mayday/.
Make sure you download the MayDay poster, see http://blueshieldaustralia.org.au/mayday/
