To celebrate EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES #EDLangs, the European Commission Representation in Spain and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation are organising the competition ‘Languages are your bridge to the future’ on the European Union and its languages on Instagram.
To participate, you must:
- Follow the European Commission Representation in Spain on Instagram
- Like the competition post
- Comment with the correct answer to the question of the day.
- Tag 2 users in the comment
- Include the hashtag #EDLangs in your comment.
Description of the competition
During September 2025, 10 questions will be posted on the Representation’s Instagram profile about EU languages or related topics such as culture, multilingualism, translation, literature and European Union countries.
The day after each question is published, the correct answer will be announced and the winner of the day will be revealed.
On the final day of the competition, 26 September, a final winner will be drawn from among all participants, who will receive the grand prize for the competition.
The European Commission’s representation in Spain will implement an EasyPromos application on Instagram.com/comisioneuropea to randomly select the winner from among all users who have given a correct answer.
Multiple entries per person are accepted, meaning that the same person may participate every day of the contest. Only one correct answer per participant will be counted. Winners will be chosen at random using the EasyPromos application described above. Winners will be announced publicly.
The European Commission’s representation in Spain will contact the ten winners via their Instagram profile to obtain their contact details.
