generations@school Competition rules of entry To enter our competition you must upload photos/images from your event to the generations@school Panoramio group. Your photos must have:
A title including information about your school and the project (school name, class, name of the project/event, city, and country).
A commentary, explaining briefly what is happening.
Images uploaded should be in jpeg, bmp, tif or png format. Maximum size of a photo is 200 KB. Comments may be in any of the 23 European Union Member States languages: Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish and Swedish. Any entry that contains politically incorrect messages will be removed from the group. We are particularly looking for photos of:
Older and younger people doing an activity together
Older and younger people having a conversation
Drawings or artwork produced collaboratively by the pupils and older people
Images with information on what the pupils have learned about someone from a different generation through your event or an interesting story or comment that was made during the event.
Among all your entries we will pick the best generations@school projects. We are looking for intergenerational projects that are creative and that have a clear impact on the people involved. A successful event will be an event with lots of conversations, learning and laughing and maybe you will find together innovative ideas on intergenerational solidarity. The best projects are often the ones easy to implement and inspiring for others! Schools in any EU Member State, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein may hold events. Submissions can be made either by a class or by a school. The staff and the families of those involved in the screening and pre-selection of contributions are not eligible to enter.

There will be two stages of judging: the generations@school team will narrow the selections from all the eligible competition submissions to a group of two finalists per country. The 27 winners of the generations@school competition will be selected from the pool of 54 finalists in total by an intergenerational jury composed by experts and members of the European Commission representing the different generations. The decisions of the judges are final and binding. Entries must be the original work of the participants; may not have won previous awards; may not have been published previously; and must be suitable for publication. Submission of an entry (via photos uploaded to the generations@school Panoramio group) grants the European Commission the right to publish, use, adapt, edit and/or modify the images.
