BA “Read and Share” Competition
Posted on
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is launching a new and distinct competition titled “Read and Share”, in light of the 18th round of its International Book Fair. The competition aims to expand the cultural and intellectual perceptions of young people.
The “Read and Share” competition targets young people aged 18-35, who love reading and have the talent for creating visual content (short videos), through which they can:
- express their passion for reading both inside and outside the Library.
- express their constant keenness to visit the BA International Book Fair every year.
- share and recommend to young people the best books they have read or purchased (BA publications or others).
- encourage young people to read and learn through sharing their own experiences, and how reading has benefited them in their lives.
- encourage people to visit the BA International Book Fair.
Competition Terms:
- Contestants are expected to make a short video (1-3 minutes), which includes the aforementioned points, and share it on the official BA social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram), while tagging these pages and copying the following hashtags:
#مسابقة_مكتبة_الإسكندرية #اقرأ_وشارك #مكتبة_الإسكندرية
#معرض_مكتبة_الإسكندرية_الدولي_للكتاب
- The content submitted by the contestant will be shared on the official BA social media platforms, starting 12 July until 30 July 2023, with the beginning of the BA International Book Fair.
Conditions for Selecting Winners:
Winners will be selected based on two criteria:
- A technical committee from the BA will evaluate the submitted content.
- The highest number of “likes” and “views” a contestant’s video can get.
Winners will receive a gift from the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
