Share EUr story essay competition launches in Vietnam

The Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam is giving you the chance to share your thoughts, stories and experiences with the globe.

The EU Delegation is hosting What's EUr Story?, an essay competition that aims to shine the spotlight on European experiences and its influence of young Vietnamese.

All you need is to share your personal experience, that of a friend or even the adventures of a family member in the EU or write about your involvement with European nationals in Vietnam.

It could be a tale about how you may have worked with any of the NGO or Civil Society Organizations of the EU or just simply how one or a group of Europeans made an impact on your life.

Another option is that you could write about how European culture has inspired you in your studies, work, or personal life in some respect.

Share your story and get the chance to win prizes and the opportunity to have your work published in Vietnam and in the EU.

The competition is open to all Vietnamese citizens aged 16 to 35 and is divided into three categories: High School Students, College Students and an Open Category.

Entries must be limited to a maximum of 1,000 words and submitted on or before May 31, 2017 at email antuongeu@gmail.com or post at the Sinh Vien Newspaper 29D Cau Giay New Residential Area, Yen Hoa District, Hanoi.

Three works will be selected from the finalists in each category, and included in a compendium of the best essays submitted in the competition. The compendium will be registered under the Publications of the European Union.

Three winners will receive weeklong all-expense paid round trips to Rome, Paris or Brussels. All the winners will be honoured at an awarding ceremony to be announced by the EU Delegation.
