Pius XII School in Palma Wins First Prize in the “It’s in My Blood” Video Contest, Organised by IBJOVE and the Blood and Tissue Bank Foundation

Two second prizes of €500 each were awarded to “Jo donaré sang” by 1st-year ESO students from IES Son Pacs in Palma and “Sangre” from the Ibiza School of Art.
Third prizes, worth €250 each, went to “Un fil de vida” and “Fa mal, però…”, both submitted by students from La Salle Inca.

This year’s edition included a total of 26 videos submitted by five educational centres, with contributions from 76 young people and their teachers.

The jury was composed of:

  • Victoria Solera (Carnet Jove technician, IBJOVE)
  • Eva Gómez (Head of Communication and Marketing, Blood and Tissue Bank Foundation)
  • Antoni Martorell (Graphic Designer, Blood and Tissue Bank Foundation)
  • Diana De la Cuadra (Director, Balearic Institute of Cultural Industries – ICIB)
  • Manuel Aguilera (Professor, CESAG University Center)
  • Marisa Candia (Director of Corporate Communication and Digital Media, IB3)
  • Maria del Pilar Payeras (Carnet Jove representative)

Raising Blood Donation Awareness Among Youth

The contest was part of a broader awareness campaign promoted by the Departments of Families and Social Affairs and Health, aimed at conveying the importance of blood donation in public health to young people. In 2023, only 16% of blood donors in the Balearic Islands were between the ages of 18 and 30. The campaign sought to promote values such as altruism and solidarity, and encourage young people to recognise the role of blood donation in maintaining a functional health system.
