8 Tips for a Safe and Fun New Year's Eve

12/16/2019

ERIE, Pa., Dec. 6, 2019 /HalcyonTV/ -- As the new year approaches, there are plenty of ways to celebrate. You can watch the ball drop with your family, host a gathering with friends or even count down to midnight at a public party. But whether you're ringing in the new year at home or spending a night out on the town, safety should always be your top priority.
Here are eight tips from Erie Insurance to help you celebrate responsibly:

Consider your liquor liability: Many people enjoy ringing the new year with a glass of champagne. But if you plan to serve alcohol, be a responsible host by making sure nobody gets behind the wheel of a car. In many states, you could be held liable for damage caused by a driver who leaves your party. Learn more about liquor liability and how to be a smart host.
Plan your activities: To keep your party running smoothly, have a list of games or activities that don't involve alcohol. Playing games can be a great way to break the ice and can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.
Serve plenty of food: If you're staying up until midnight, expect lots of snacking to take place throughout the evening. A good selection of food and non-alcoholic beverages will not only keep your guests happy and help counter the effects of alcohol.
Keep your guest list tight: When hosting a party in your home, it's always a good idea to limit guests to people you know well. Strangers may be less likely to respect your property, and it will be more difficult to confront them if they overindulge.
Designate a driver: Encourage your guests to choose a designated driver before they arrive. Whether a friend is driving, or they choose to use a ridesharing service, advanced planning will ensure a safer ride home for all of your guests.
Shelve the fireworks: Avoid the temptation to start the new year off with a "bang." Fireworks can lead to house fires and injuries – and they never mix well with alcohol.
Don't leave your car overnight: If you're not driving home, it's probably wise to leave your car in the driveway – and don't forget to lock the doors. Unfortunately, criminals don't take a holiday.
Charge your phone: Before you head out for a night on the town, make sure your phone is fully charged. Getting stuck with a dead battery will make it difficult to reconnect with friends or order a ride home, if needed.

No matter how you celebrate, the new year is a time to reflect on your successes of the past and your hopes for the future. At Erie Insurance, we're here to protect all that matters most so you can relax and enjoy life.

Four Winning Art Pieces Will Be Displayed On Digital Out Of Home Assets This Month

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2019 /HalcyonTV/ -- OUTFRONT Media Inc. (NYSE: OUT) announced today their Best in Show award and three discipline winners of their inaugural art competition OUTFRAME, which has given the "Artists of Adland" the opportunity to share their personal artwork outside of their everyday client projects, with the rest of the country.
The four winning entries will be displayed on digital out of home assets across the country this month. In addition, the Best in Show's charity of choice, The Nature Conservancy, will be given media space in January. This displays the power of OOH canvases and the power of good.
"[The] image is clever, haunting, elegant, and poetic. Fossil fuels are finite and the earth and its species are fragile, so the word DIE could have multiple meanings. The image is seductive, but the soft haze in the image can be seen as dreamy or nightmarish. The colors are exhilarating, but unnatural, the aesthetics and statement of this image are rendered superbly," said Judge Shepard Fairey on Artell's winning artwork.
Ryan Artell, Art Director at RED Interactive Agency was awarded Best in Show for his piece titled "DIEsel," which was submitted within the digital discipline. Artell's artist statement was: "The year is 2085, all hope in humanity has been lost, and there are all but a few remaining outposts that contain life. Among the abandoned neon and technology there exists evidence of a past existence. Remnants of a time that once was, full of mass consumption and corruption. These structures have become statues, monoliths to a society that once was, but never will be again."
There were three 'Best in Discipline' awards:

Best in Digital: "The American Plague," by Kyle Grazia, Group Creative Director at Biolumnia
Best in Mixed Media: "I Can't Breathe" by Jack Llewellyn-Karski, Art Director at J. Walter Thompson Worldwide
Best In Photography: "Eyes Wide Shut" by Dinesh Boaz, Creative Director/Co-Founder at Direct Agents

The OUTFRAME competition was created as a way to highlight adland artists and give them the chance to create without guidelines or brand rules, and share their true passions with the public.
OUTFRAME's elite panel of judges this year included:
-  Shepard Fairey, Artist & Founder of Obey Clothing and Studio Number One
-  Joe Sciarrotta, Deputy Chief Creative Officer, Worldwide at Ogilvy
- Kate Stanners, Chairwoman and Global Chief Creative Officer at Saatchi & Saatchi
- Juliana Cobb, Group Creative Director at Droga5
-  Jed Selkowitz, Chief Marketing Officer of Americares
-  Jeff Benjamin, Chief Creative Officer at Tombras
-  Doug Jaeger, Partner at JaegerSloan Studio
-  Eddy Herty, National Creative Director of OUTFRONT Media
