Europe at Home - Europe starts in our communities
next deadline: 2008-04-30



The European People's Party (EPP) Group in the Committee of the Regions of the EU have launched a photography competition entitled Europe at home: Europe starts in our communities. The aim is to encourage young people to think about the impact of Europe in their city or region.

Criteria:

The photographs have to communicate your idea of Europe and what it means in your city, region or commune. Inspiration for your photograph could come from any of the linguistic, cultural, religious, social or economic expressions that are seen in your region or city as long as they represent Europe for you. 
They may either be in colour or black and white. 
Editing and digital enhancement of photographs is allowed. 
The image must be in JPEG format, at least 300 dpi with a maximum file size of 2MB.

Participants are: 
between the ages of 15 and 28 (on the closing date of the competition) 
a citizen of one of the 27 EU Member States

Selection Process:
A jury, made up of representatives from EPP/CoR, CoR, European Parliament, European Commission, Youth of EPP and the media will review all of the photographs before selecting two winners in May 2008. These winners will then be invited to the EPP/CoR Summer University for local and regional media on 10-11 June 2008.

Prizes: 
1st Prize: EUR 1500 + visit to EPP/CoR Summer University in Brussels on 10-11 June 2008 
2nd Prize: EUR 500 + visit to EPP/CoR Summer University in Brussels on 10-11 June 2008 
In addition to the cash prizes mentioned above, the photographs will be used on the EPP Group in the CoR website as well as in the publications that it produces and for an exhibition at the EPP/CoR Summer University.

You must complete the online entry form and upload your photograph. This is accessible on the EPP Group website [http://www.cor.europa.eu/eppweb/photocompetition/Rules.htm] www.cor.europa.eu/eppweb.
