Would you like to see this Facebook page through our eyes? To discover what it’s like to work in the European Parliament? Following plenary debates and sparking a Facebook discussion, taking a ride on the wild rollercoaster that is communicating European affairs on Facebook?
Well, step right up – admission is free!
Thanks to this unique opportunity, four of you will be invited to come to Strasbourg in July to become our first ever virtual reality correspondents and take part in the shooting of our virtual visit to the Parliament!
How to take part in the competition
Nothing could be easier: just prepare a short video of why you should be selected and post it on the wall of this event. Be creative, be funny, think out of the box… There are only two rules: do not exceed 30 seconds and post your motivation before midnight CET on 9 June. You can use video applications like Hyperlapse or Vine or just post a YouTube or directly uploaded video. The Parliament’s Facebook team will then choose four winners from the ten most liked submissions. You will have two weeks to promote the video – we will make the decision on 23 June.
What is at stake?
The four winners will be invited for a three-day trip to Strasbourg (6-8 July). Together with the Parliament’s team, they will work on the virtual visit to the Parliament: choosing interesting spots, following the debates and meetings and appearing in the final video. Accommodation and travel expenses will be arranged and covered by the European Parliament.
Who can take part in the competition?
You need to be at least 18 years old, live in a European Union country and be available on 6-8 July to come to Strasbourg. The ten nominees and subsequently four winners will be announced on the event page and contacted via Facebook mail – so please make sure to check your mail (also ‘other’ folder) on the days in question!
By participating in this competition you also agree to being filmed for a video to be published on Parliament’s Facebook account.
For submissions for the competition, the same rules apply as for the European Parliament Facebook page. If you’re not familiar with them, you can find them here: http://epfacebook.eu/SU
