UNA's 3rd annual Nurses Week Member Engagement Challenge

United Nurses of Alberta is thrilled to announce the third annual Nurses Week Member Engagement Challenge.

To recognize the work of UNA Locals during Nurses Week from May 12 to May 18 this year, UNA is inviting Locals and members to submit examples of member engagement efforts created and used during that week.

The theme of this year's challenge is nurses make it better! Locals are encouraged to enter submissions that follow that theme.

Entries will be accepted from or on behalf of locals in five categories divided by local membership size:

1: Best poster
a) Local with fewer than 400 members
b) Local with more than 400 members

2: Best photo
a) Local with fewer than 400 members
b) Local with more than 400 members

3: Best online meme
a) Local with fewer than 400 members
b) Local with more than 400 members

4: Best online video
a) Local with fewer than 400 members
b) Local with more than 400 members
c) District Representatives

5: Most creative engagement idea
a) Local with fewer than 400 members
b) Local with more than 400 members

Submissions should include the name of the local, the names of the members involved in creating the submissions and a short description of how the submission was used to engage UNA members during Nurses Week. Something as simple as posted a photo on social media would qualify.

Locals may submit multiple submissions in each category.

Winners and individual members will be presented with a special award certificate and have their submissions shown at the UNA Annual General Meeting in October 2025.

Locals are encouraged to recognize the members who participated in the creation of their submissions.

Submissions are being accepted through UNA's DMS. The deadline to submit is Friday, May 30, 2025. The winners will be announced after that.
