A competition created by Language Rich Europe and Poliglotti4.eu

Are you multilingual? If you speak three or more languages we want to hear your story!

Enter the competition to become one of our Language Ambassadors – you could win a new iPad 2!

To celebrate the European Day of Languages, the British Council and EUNIC in Brussels are launching a competition to find Language Ambassadors who are willing to lend their voice to the cause of language learning by creating a short video of their linguistic journey.

The selected videos will feature as an important part of the websites of our major twin projects: Language Rich Europe and Poliglotti4.eu.

To enter all you need to do is to make a video clip (with audio) of 2-3 minutes, using all the languages you speak. In the video we want to know about you and how your language skills have improved your life.

WHO CAN ENTER THE COMPETITION?

			Residents of the Council of Europe Member States
			Adults of any age (18 or older). Due to child protection regulations no one under 18 may appear in the video.

HOW WILL THE WINNERS BE CHOSEN?
A panel of judges from the multilingual Language Rich Europe project team and the British Council will choose the winner. The panel will judge your entry on:

			original idea when choosing the setting and plot for the video clip
			the imagination and creativity shown in presenting your story of multilingualism
			the clarity of the benefits of being multilingual.

HOW DO I ENTER?

			Read the instructions carefully first before making your video.
			Read the terms and conditions before entering.
			Make your video clip of Languages Speak Up!
			Upload your video (maximum length: 4 minutes).

HOW DO I UPLOAD MY VIDEO?

If you have any problems posting it there, just get in touch with Christiane.Keilig@britishcouncil.de.

WHAT CAN YOU WIN?

			The winning video will win a NEW iPad 2.
