The contest #InTheirEyes 2 is a creative regional competition aimed at digital content creators in the 8 countries of the Southern Neighbourhood region: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia. At the beginning, 6 content creators per country will be chosen using a rigorous selection process. They will benefit from a training and will be supported by mentors.
After a second round of selection, only two content creators per country will remain. They will be called The Competitors and will form a team, together with the 2 mentors, a representative of the EU Delegation in their country and a representative of an EU-funded programme/project. Each team will represent its country and will compete with a collaborative audiovisual project.
Entry is free of charge.
Members of the jury, the European institutions’ staff and the EU Neighbours South project team may not enter the competition.
Previous EU Goodwill Ambassadors can no longer participate in InTheirEyes contests.
