EUrope in my eyes!
Video/Photo Contest
Running: 28 June-31 July 2019
After successful photo and video contest where citizens of the South East Europe gave us a glimpse of what this region has to offer, the RCC is now organizing a video/photo contest to check how you feel about our old continent and the Union of many European nations.
This time around, we want to spark your creativity and imagination, to SEE what you like in the EU and how do you SEE it ?
Is it freedom of choice? Culture? Art? Richness in diversity? Opportunities to work, travel or study abroad? Freedom to love who you chose? No roaming charges within the EU? Security? What do we have in common? Major differences? Or something completely different? Show us in video or a photo - NOW is the time!!!
This contest is organized within the RCC’s support to the 2019 edition of Sarajevo Film Festival (SFF). It aims to encourage video/photo creativity of young people to express their desires and aspirations, at the same time promoting the European Union in the region as well as the region in the EU.
The videos featuring individual stories on “EUrope in my eyes” (or “How I SEE EUrope”) need to be up to 60 seconds long. They may include real-life footage, animation or any other creative combination. The photos should clearly show what about the EUrope you like/or the reason why you like it /or how do you see it.
