The photo competition of the European Commission 30.12.2019 08:55

The European Commission has announced a competition for students and employees - photography enthusiasts who documented their Erasmus stays abroad with photos.

Since its creation in 1987, the Erasmus+ programme has enabled more and more participants to be mobile, thus strengthening their skills and open-mindedness. The number of learners who have benefited from Erasmus reached 10 million in 2019 and growing!
To celebrate this important milestone and the incredible success of more than 30 years of programme implementation, the Erasmus+ team is happy to announce the launch of a photo competition.


Through this competition, Erasmus+ would like to honour the 10 million participants by taking a look in the past and trying to illustrate the reality and the evolution of the programme since its creation. Former participants in any of the sectors of the Erasmus+ Programme, who are interested in taking part in the competition, are invited to choose and upload by January 13th, one specific photo accompanied by a short text, to describe their experience and the impact that the programme has had on their lives. Participants of the Erasmus+ predecessor programmes (Comenius, Leonardo Da Vinci, Grundtvig, Youth in Action etc.) are also welcome to participate, so to help us telling a long story since 1987!


The selected pictures and descriptions will then be compiled and exposed in the Hall of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) during the Stakeholders Event on 28-29 January 2020.

The photos can be submitted until January 13, 2020 via the website: pr.easypromosapp.com/p/883663
The jury of the competition will evaluate the photo and a short description of the story crowned in the photo.
