WPC Video Competitions
The World Parkinson Coalition leadership understands the power of video messages. Because of this, we launched a video competition that was held leading up to the WPC 2010 which was an outstanding success. After the success of this competition and enthusiasm of the Parkinson's community for using this medium to communicate and educate, we have decided to find other ways to engage the community with video competitions. We will offer various competitions throughout the years leading up to the third World Parkinson Congress, the WPC 2013, in Montreal, Canada. Stay tuned!
