25th Erasmus Anniversary Competition

The European Commission has just launched a "25th Erasmus Anniversary Competition" on Facebook.

The objective is to share personal Erasmus experiences to encourage others to enjoy the benefits of studying in another European country. They are looking for funny, exciting or moving stories (preferably in English), in any format, whether text, photo or video. Anyone who has been abroad on an Erasmus exchange is encouraged to participate.

The Youth on the Move team will shortlist the top 10 entries, then Facebook users will vote to choose the three prize-winners, which will also be published on the Youth on the Move website.

Time frame:
Deadline for posting stories is 30 April 2012 (23:59 PM - Central European Summer Time).
Voting will start on 1 May and end on 8 May (23:59 PM CEST).
Winners will be announced on the event page on 9 May.

Prizes:
1st prize: tablet pc
2nd prize: mp4 player
