DG ECFIN is organising a photo competition with the theme: “The euro: What does it mean to us?”. Our contractor Tipik Communication Agency and the members of its European network will assist us with the organisation of this competition in all member states.
It is intended for teams of young people aged 14 to 18. Each team will be asked to submit a photograph with a caption. This will be judged by a Europe-wide jury, which will then declare one winning team in each of the 27 EU member countries. Of these 27 winners, the seven highest scoring teams will be invited to an awards ceremony in Brussels in May 2010, where the winner of the first prize will be announced. The ceremony will also be attended by several of the personalities involved in the judging and press representatives.
I would very much appreciate your support for this project and would be grateful if you could disseminate the information to the Europe Direct Information Centres, the Europe Documentation Centres and your other national, regional and local networks. You will receive flyers and posters from OPOCE in the coming weeks. Could you also put a link to the website of the competition http://euroinphoto.eu on the Commission’s website in your respective countries? Please do not hesitate to contact the project leader, Rosemarie Hensley, if you have any questions.
