Context


Explanation:
I found this on Google:

Programme de sensibilisation des travailleurs "Au coeur du travail 2000"
Depuis maintenant six ans, La Fondations des maladies du coeur du Québec, en collaboration avec ses partenaires, organise une activité santé en milieu de travail ....Le projet " Au coeur du travail " qui rejoint cette année encore plus de 300 entreprises, vise à sensibiliser les travailleurs (160 000 en 1999) à certains facteurs de risques dont le thème cette année est l'obésité.

So the slogan should be about making workers aware of heart problems.

In my opinion, cjohnstone\'s \"The heart at work\" fits the context perfectly.

Also, I think they call it a campaign rather than a contest
