Donostia-San Sebastian.  It’s a Korrika year, an event in favor of the Basque language that takes place every other year.  In 2019, it will celebrate its 21^st edition and will depart from Gares-Puente la Reina in Navarre on April 4^th to end in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Araba, on the 14^th.  The Etxepare Basque Institute  and the AEK Cooperative are working together supporting 21. Korrika, with proposals such as this video contest that hopes to “create the atmosphere prior to Korrika and make the presence of Euskera around the world more visible.”

There will be two prizes, one for students at Lectureships and others for students at Basque clubs.  Winners will be decided by popular vote online, for an opportunity to travel to the Basque Country and study Basque at a Barnetegi during the European summer, with travel and stay included.  Contest winners will have received the most “likes” on their videos, that will be published on AEK's YouTube Channel. If the video is a group work, then members of the group should decide which of them would enjoy the prize.
