Entry Requirements
There is no experience like living in a foreign country to introduce you to new cultures and open your eyes to the greater world around you. By immersing yourself fully in a new culture, you can gain invaluable insight into the challenges facing people from all walks of life. You may even come to develop your own ideas on how to contribute to the global community.
This year we are asking participants to reflect and show through the use of video how you will use your experience living abroad to make the world a better place.
To participate and have a chance at winning a scholarship, eligible contestants should:
1. Go to Facebook.com/expatyouth and “Like” the page.
2. Create a 1:00-1:30 minute video showing how you will use your experience living abroad to make the world a better place.
3. Submit the video at Facebook.com/expatyouth at the Contest application. Under “Describtion” be sure to put your full name and age as of July 30, 2016.
A few things to keep in mind are
- The video should be dynamic and demonstrate through interesting footage and visuals your passion about your goal and what positive impact it will have on the world.
- The video should be between 1:00 -1:30 minutes.
- Last but not least… have fun!
Judging Criteria
Entries will be judged by
- Originality and style of the video.
- The scholarship entrant’s ability to articulate their objective impact on the world, the means through which they plan to pursue this goal, and how it will benefit society.
- Production quality and ability to successfully combine facts with inspirational content
