The OSCE Mission to Skopje, in co-operation with the Agency for Youth and Sport and the National Youth Council, is announcing a contest in the field of security, solidarity and co-operation, for young people aged 15 to 29. The question that needs to be answered by young people in a creative way is “What does security, solidarity and co-operation mean to you?”. You can answer the question by telling us which topics are more important to you as a young person and what concerns or interests you the most when it comes to security, solidarity and co-operation, and you can express yourself through various creative ways, including but not limited to:

• Video content (YouTube video, TikTok, Reels, Podcasts…)
• Creative visuals (design, comics, illustration…)
• Photography
• Painting or drawing
• Essay

The call for applications is open to all young people aged 15 to 29, citizens of the Republic of North Macedonia, and the content should answer the question “What does security, solidarity and co-operation mean to you?”

A committee composed of representatives from the OSCE Mission to Skopje, the Agency for Youth and Sport and the National Youth Council, will evaluate the submissions. The committee will award three best submissions with the following prizes:

• First place – Go Pro Hero 9 Action Camera
