For our latest poll, held in advance of Safer Internet Day on February 5, we are collaborating with our mobile network partner FLOW (who provide free SMS for U-Reporters to use our service) to also include a video contest. U-Reporters can do more than answer poll questions, but get more involved by creating and sharing videos under 1-minute long that encourage people to be informed, careful and kinder to others online!
TERMS & CONDITIONS

- The contest starts on Friday, 1 February 2019, and ends midnight on Safer Internet Day, Tuesday, 5 February 2019.
- Participants must be users aged 13-29 who are signed up to U-Report.
- If you are already a U-Report user, you will receive a message (via SMS or Facebook Messenger) from the U-Report Jamaica team and be invited to enter the contest. You will be asked to provide your name, phone number and age. If you are not yet a U-Reorter, you must text us the keyword “SAFER” and sign up to U-Report first before being able to enter the contest.
