Every year, NDSS reminds the world in a big way about the gifts that people with Down syndrome bring to their communities through a special video presentation on the 40-foot Panasonic News Corporation Astrovision screen in the heart of the Times Square.

This special event is made possible by the generosity of the Panasonic, which donates 40 minutes of airtime on its world-famous screen for the NDSS broadcast. The showing takes place each year on the morning of the New York City Buddy Walk and is one of the highlights of National Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

NDSS receives thousands of photo submissions for the Times Square Video Contest. Because the Buddy Walk promotes acceptance and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome, the winning photographs feature children, teens and adults with Down syndrome working, playing and learning with friends and family.
