In recognition of the European Year 2011, the Europe Direct Centres in Tuscany are pleased to announce the "IMAGO europæ" photo competition. This year’s title is “FOCUS ON volunteering” and is dedicated to the European year of Volunteering 2011.

The main objective of the contest is to promote volunteering through the use of photography. Photos should demonstrate ways in which Europeans are contributing to the betterment of society through volunteer opportunities. While the photos can be global in scope and can focus on international volunteering, they must somehow relate to the European Union or its citizens.

How to participate: Fill in the application form including a photo short explanation (maximum 150 words) in Italian or English and send it together with the photo by e‐mail to imagoeuropae@comune.fi.it  no later than 1 August 2011.
