The European Parliament is inviting Instagram users to take part in its “I am Europe” competition and win a trip to the open day of the European Parliament in Brussels where winning photos will be exhibited.

“The European elections are coming up, which will shape the future of the EU. But Europe is, and always will be, about all of us. So share a portrait capturing the faces of Europe for a chance to win a trip to the European Parliament in Brussels on 4 May,” it said.
 
Rules

  • Share a picture of yourself or someone special to you and tell us the story behind it
  • When posting your picture, use the hashtag #iameurope and tag @europeanparliament
  • Subscribe to the European elections platform: thistimeimvoting.eu

Who can participate?
 
In order to enter the competition, you must live in an EU country (this includes the UK), be over 18, own full copyright for your photos, have your account public and should you win, be available to travel to Brussels on 4 May.

 The prize
 
There will be six winners: five chosen by us and one by you. During the contest, the EP will regram some of the best shots on the Parliament’s Instagram account and the most liked one will be your winner.
 
The winning photos, along with a larger selection of the best portraits shared, will be displayed in the Parliament in Brussels, as part of an exhibition on May 4, to which the six winners will be invited.
