Are you between 8 and 24 years old, living in an EU state? Then you might be able to receive a Nobel Prize!
The European Union, which was awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, has launched a drawing and writing contest, in collaboration with the European Youth Forum, and the four winners will be part of the official delegation of the EU that will travel to Oslo for the award ceremony.
Young people from the EU and acceding or candidate countries are invited to answer the question: Peace, Europe, Future: What does Peace in Europe mean to you? Children aged 8 to 12 are to express themselves with a drawing while older ones with a short text of maximum 120 characters, in any of the 23 EU official languages. The contest runs until November 25.
The European Youth Forum will pre-select the 16 best entries for each age group (8-12, 13-17, and 18-24) and a jury will choose three winners (one per group). The winners’ names will be announced on the first week of December. Winners will attend the official ceremony on December 10 as well as the Nobel Peace Prize concert on December 11.
