the #LiveBeyond Campaign
With the #LiveBeyond campaign, we feature the face + story of a community member living with type 1 diabetes on our Instagram.
Guidelines & Requirements
While we cannot feature everyone who submits, so give us your best effort and your authentic voice to improve your odds! Expect at least four to eight weeks before your Instagram goes live. By submitting, you become an official ambassador, agree to share your post on your social media platforms and encourage others to join our efforts.
QUESTIONS? SEND US AN EMAIL.
Guidelines for submitting
- You must have type 1 diabetes.
- Check out the samples above. One person per photo please, we want the focus to be on you! If you have a special situation-please submit and we will review.
- Send a plain image, no need to photoshop or apply filters.
- The image must be in focus + at least 800 pixels tall by 800 pixels wide. A good cell phone photo works.
- Smile + show us your personality—we can’t wait to see what you share!
Requirements to be considered
- Include all information requested.
- For location, please send city, state and country.
For your statement, tell us how you live beyond your diagnosis, aim for 4-5 sentences and we will trim if necessary. - If you are submitting for a child, have them tell their story in their own words even if that is stream of consciousness or other simple form.
- Did we mention the photo should be in focus? Why not try for good lighting—always face the light source—and keep logos to a minimum.
- Follow us on at least one platform: @beyondtype1 on Instagram + X and Beyond Type 1 on Facebook.
