What has the EU ever done for you? Well, share your views with us and you could present your views to MEPs and win a bike worth £250! YOUTH VOICE: EUROPE VIDEO COMPETITION This project is sponsored by the European Commission’s Permanent Representation to the UK

 We are running a video competition to try to find out how young people in the UK see the future of Europe.  So…  We would like you to make a short video, telling us… ‘how you imagine Europe in 2050’  Then, upload it to our Facebook page  If your video wins, then you will win a bike worth £250 and you’ll get the opportunity to present your ideas to an MEP HOW IT WORKS

 To enter, just make a video, no longer than 2 minutes, explaining your dreams and visions of what Europe will be like in the year  Two bikes are up for grabs;  one will go to the video chosen by our judging panel  the other will go to the video with the most likes and the end of the competition  Once you've made your video, simply post it on to our Facebook page, and once we’ve approved it, just wait for the likes to roll in.  As soon as the video is on the competition page, feel free to share the video with your friends, but make sure shares are public so we can count up the likes at the end. THE DETAILS

 Be creative! There are no rules about what your video can include; you could rap, tell a story, make an animation or simply film yourself on your phone.  Your video can be positive or negative; we just want you to express your vision for the future of Europe  For example… YOUR VIDEO
