In just over one month, on 6-9 June 2024, EU citizens will be electing new members of the European Parliament for 2024-2029.

The New Europeans Initiative supports all those who arrived and live in the European Union or are their descendants (New Europeans) to have a say in decisions that directly affect them.

To make sure that more New Europeans are aware of the upcoming EU elections 2024 and actively participate in them, we are organising a video competition for individuals and civil society organisations that are part of and engaged with the New European voters to spread the word about the elections, to share New Europeans’ testimonies why they are voting and why it is important for them, and why they encourage other New Europeans to vote.

The winners of the video competition will receive an award in the form of equipment of their choice up to € 500 worth.
