Your Voice, Your Story

We all have a story to tell.

Perhaps you are a patient who has benefited from participating in a clinical trial, a recipient of an approved medication that is available because of a clinical trial, a health care professional who supports patients on clinical trials or an industry professional who is witness to the impact that medical advances can bring to people’s lives. Perhaps clinical trials are a mystery or complicated to understand. Whatever the circumstances, we want to hear people’s voices and see their stories.
You don’t have to have participated in a clinical trial to enter – we want to hear everyone’s thoughts!

The Idea

Sometimes it is difficult to put feelings into words. White Coats Foundation invites people to express their “Voice”  by creating a picture, painting, symbol or sending in a photo that represents what clinical trials mean to them.

This year, 2024, Your Voice Your Story is a little different!

We are creating a video with Your Voice Your Story entries, past and present, and we need your help.
Simply submit a picture, painting, photo, or symbol with a short blurb explaining how your piece of art reflects what clinical trials mean to you.

Every submission will be featured in our online gallery, and we will select some entries to be showcased in our video. WCF Your Voice Your Story video will appear across our channels during the month of May (and June ) to celebrate International Clinical Trials Day and will help raise awareness of clinical trials & research and their role in health care. 

 This year, WCF is also giving away a $100 Australia Post/ Mastercard Gift Card to the first 5 entries for 2024—a gift from us to you.
All 2024 entries will receive a  White Coats Foundation Keep Cup as a thank-you for your submission.

We continue to welcome entries from patients, family members, health care professionals and industry professionals.  We want to connect with ALL communities, a diverse range of people and cultures.   The stories may be uplifting or heartbreaking, thought-provoking and educational. Stories are what connect us as humans and this initiative is an opportunity to create an image that is both personal and powerful. 

Please note:  if your submission is selected for final video the image, title, description, your first name and state or territory will be shared in on all our WCF  socials,  website, youtube & vimeo channels. Your submission will act as permission for White Coats Foundation to share your entry and republish on our social channels, website, and any associated collateral.

* The first 5 entries receive a $100 Gift Card.  Gift Card gift valid for Australian entrants only.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to our sponsor for supporting this initiative.

Since “Your Voice Yours Story’s” inception, Boehringer Ingelheim has been part of the initiative. It’s their sponsorship that has enabled WCF to continue with this storytelling and enabled us to introduce a gift card for those who share their voice and story at our webinar on #ICTD every year.

Most importantly, Boehringer Ingelheim’s contribution makes it possible for us to continue to raise awareness of clinical trials and their role in healthcare.
