Participation Awards - Your chance to shine!

Last updated on Tuesday, 22/07/2025

The European Youth Card Association, in collaboration with the European Commission, is bringing back the Participation Awards - your chance to shine by sharing what volunteering abroad has truly meant to you.

Whether you’ve already volunteered abroad with the European Solidarity Corps or are currently on your journey, this is your opportunity to tell your story. Share the friendships you’ve made, the challenges you’ve overcome, the moments that took you by surprise, and the real impact you’ve had on the local community.

Simply create a short video, upload it to YouTube Shorts, and you could win amazing prizes like Interrail passes and Loop Earplugs, all perfectly planned to make your adventure great, fun, and peaceful when needed.

The submission period is open from 16 July to 18 August 2025. There will be 10 winners in total, announced in September, so you’re one step away from your dream.
