Federation Square Lights Up to “End Polio Now”

Federation Square Lights Up to “End Polio Now” (25th, 26th and 27th February 2012)
Melbourneʼs Federation Square with its wide piazza and striking architecture is one of Australiaʼs most iconic buildings. This February 25th it will join other iconic buildings around the world to be illuminated to celebrate Rotaryʼs signature “End Polio Now” campaign. The illumination will run from 25th to 27th of February.

One wall of the square has a giant video screen and onto this backdrop will be projected an “End Polio Now “ image together with other Rotary messages.  Simultaneously, video images and graphics will be shown on the video screen - providing additional visual impact.  The video information stream will last about 20 minutes and will be on a loop so it will then start screening again.

The video screen information will continue to be shown during the daytime further promoting what Rotary has achieved with its “End Polio Now” Campaign. At night in addition to the image wall and the video presentation, the other buildings in the square will be floodlit with the red of the “End Polio Now” logo.

At 8.30pm on 25th February there will be a “switching-on ceremony”. Lord Mayor Robert Doyle has been invited to “flick the switch” and everyone is invited to be there. This major Australian city will be featuring on Rotaryʼs world stage. Please tell all your friends and show your pride in what Rotary has achieved on its journey to eradicate Polio.
