Celebrate the Buddy Walk's 14^th anniversary by entering the Times Square Video Contest. The video, which showcases individuals with Down syndrome from all over the world, will air on the Panasonic News Corporation Astrovision screen in Times Square on September 28 at 10:30 a.m.  The New York City Buddy Walk™ will immediately follow the video at the Great Hill in Central Park.

Each year, 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.  Please limit photos to no more than three per individual with Down syndrome.  If more than three pictures are received, only the first three will be considered.

For more information, or to submit a photo, please click here.  The deadline for submitting photos is July 18, 2008.
