RULES MY ERASMUS DIARY

Have you just gotten to Italy and would like to share the feelings and experiences of what will be the best year of your life? Are you a videomaker or you like to post videos on YouTube? Do you just want to talk about your life and thoughts?

So ESN Italia’s new project, #MyErasmusDiary, is made just for you!

Tell your story through your YouTube channel and ESN Italy's, become the most famous Erasmus student in Italy and win big prizes!

Procedure

As from November 15th all the competitors will have to start posting on their YouTube channel at least 3 short videos every month about their life on Erasmus.

At the end of each month, the participants will have to send ESN Italia the links of their 3 best videos through an appropriate form. These 3 videos will be uploaded on a specific playlist and shared with the whole European Erasmus network.

The contest will take place in two phases (so that also the students staying just one semester can participate):

  • PHASE 1: from November to February
  • PHASE 2: from March to July

At the end of each phase the prizes will be awarded to:

  • The Erasmus students with the highest number of total views among all the uploaded videos
  • The Erasmus student with the best video project, according to a quality jury

Moreover, every month, the videos judged as the best will be posted on ESN Italia’s website.

Video contents

The videos may include photos, music, clips. They may be video blogs or shorts… therefore maximum freedom! There is not a maximum number of videos you can upload on your profile, but they do not have to be longer than 4 minutes!

It is forbidden to include any offensive content towards people or institutions, any indecent behaviour or explicit scenes of alcoholism. If a participant does not respect these rules, s/he will be immediately excluded from the contest.

The videos may be recorded with any kind of camera and edited with any kind of software.

Video sharing

The participants are free to share their videos on social networks to increase the number of views. ESN Italia will share on Facebook the three best videos sent by the Erasmus students every month.

Awarding procedures

Once the 3 videos are sent, they will be posted, during the following month, on social networks and ESN Italia’s pages. Then, at the end of the month, when the videos of the following month are posted, the views will be counted and added to the total sum which will define the winner. Afterwards, further views will not be taken into account for the total sum.

(For example, if during the month of November a video reaches 300 views, and after posting the December video, the November video reaches 400 views, the total number of views will be still 300, as far as the classification is concerned)

Deadlines

Send the links of the 3 videos through the form by 23:59 of  the last day of each month.

Prizes

  • PHASE 1: One place for the Erasmus National Event 2015 and a 100€ Smartbox
  • PHASE 2: 100€ Amazon Gift Card and a 100€ Smartbox
