27 January 2010 - This week sees the launch of Eurotrip, an exciting new competition which affords two media-savvy adventurers the opportunity to have a free trip around Europe this Spring, kicking off in Helsinki and finishing in Brussels, taking in some of Europe's most exciting capitals on the way. But the winning duo's trip around Europe has a twist. The winners must cover 16 countries in just 20 days – no small feat – and, if that wasn’t enough of a challenge, they will also be given 12 uniquely quirky and challenging tasks, designed to test their limits and that of Ireland’s EU membership.
The two lucky winners will be asked to share their findings along the way online, by tweeting and facebooking each day, talking about the places they visit, the people they meet and how they dealt with the challenges they were faced.
Euro-trip is organised as part of the "Talk to EU" public information initiative funded by the European Commission.
Ruth Deasy, Press Officer at the European Commission Representation said: "The aim is to unearth some interesting findings and insights on what it means to be European. We’re encouraging those interested to visit the website www.talktoeu.ie/eurotrip and to get involved. We’re looking for creative entries that stand out from the crowd and we’re encouraging interested participants to upload a video to showcase their personalities”.
Closing date for entries is the 10th March at 5.00pm. All entrants must be over 18 and free to travel from the 1st to the 21st April.
