Are you ready to get creative for Parkinson’s awareness? This month, the Crazy Spark Art Challenge invites members of the community to share their artistic interpretations of a global Parkinson’s logo
Last year, ‘The Spark’ was introduced as a new, universal logo designed to raise global Parkinson’s awareness. Now, an advocacy group in Germany has invited people living with the condition to share their creative interpretations of the symbol.
Earlier this month, PD Avengers Deutschland (Germany) launched the ‘Crazy Spark Art Challenge’. The initiative encourages people living with the condition to create their own artwork using the Spark logo and share it across their social media channels.

“The aim was to make the Spark more known within the Parkinson’s community and to reach out to the rest of the world,” says Nina Juncker, one of the PD Avengers Deutschland members behind the project. “By creating their own personal artwork, people living with the condition can connect to the symbol more easily.”
For Nina, the Crazy Spark Art Challenge highlights the importance of uniting members of the global Parkinson’s community.
“Art can be a method of connection,” she says. “An awareness campaign like this helps people have fun and educate themselves while also bringing them together with others. It helps people become part of something bigger.”
It’s hoped that the project will help raise awareness of the condition.
It is hoped that the Parkinson’s community’s involvement in the campaign will also encourage others to take notice. As Nina notes: “Parkinson’s and its challenges are widely unknown to the public. We have to raise more awareness of the condition, so we can connect with others and have a louder voice.”
