Please note: if your photos and videos files are too large you can use a web service (e.g. Wetransfer)

These are the publication dates:

Be creative! You can describe your story through these themes:
- skills: what did you learn from this experience? How did it increase your skills for the labour market?
- challenges: what challenges did you face? How and how much have you grown humanly and professionally?
- memories: pictures and shots of what you carry with you after the experience (the people you have met, the places you have experienced, etc.)
- future: how do you see your professional future? Will you continue to work in the field of solidarity?
You can upload one or more photos/videos for each category.
Your photo(s) will be displayed in the public gallery on the Contest Facebook page .
The ANPAL – EURES National Coordination Office team reserves the right to verify the appropriateness of the material sent to decide whether to publish it or not.

How will the winners be selected?
At the end of the contest eighteen winning photos/posts will be selected by counting the likes received within the first month of publication. Thus, for example, for posts published on 1st June, likes received will be counted until the second publication period, i.e. until 1st July.
In addition, a technical jury, composed of the project partnership members will evaluate the photos published by assigning a score from 1 to 5. Each partner may cast only one vote for each post published.
Finally a special guest expert of media and social media (part of the technical jury) will express his/her vote by adding an extra bonus (10 points) to the final score.
The jury’s selection of the 18 finalists will be based on the following criteria: relevance to the Competition theme, creativity expressed, aesthetic quality, and persuasiveness of the posts. Photos/Posts will be judged on content, text and quality.
The final 18 winners selected will be contacted by the ANPAL – EURES National Coordination Office team via e-mail, by September 5th 2019. The first 8 will also be invited as testimonials to the final event of the European Solidarity Corps project to share their stories.
What are the awards?
Winners will receive a flight ticket valid for two people for a European destination. Awards will be communicated by e-mail directly to the winners at the end of the contest.
