Among other things, the jury praised the good transferability of the project
The jury particularly praised the fact that the work is attractively designed, combines text and images in a balanced way, the content is well prepared and the project is easily transferable to other health authorities.

The poster was also recognized beyond the competition: at the 9th National Vaccination Conference, it was one of the seven nominated contributions from a total of 66 submissions.

The motto of the current J1 campaign is: "Check yourself! J1 - Your golden ticket to a healthy future". Cooperation partners are the health insurance companies and the Professional Association of Pediatricians and Adolescent Doctors (BVKJ).
More than 5,000 schoolchildren received "Golden Tickets"
As part of the campaign, the public health department sent out information material to schools: School principals and teachers were contacted, and more than 5,000 seventh-grade pupils also received so-called "Golden Tickets" including information for parents as an invitation to the J1 youth health check-up.
In addition, the classes are invited to take part in a competition in which the class with the highest percentage of participation in the youth health check-up wins. The prize is a joint event for the class.
