Impegno dei cittadini EU values and Enlargement

Do you have a story that deserves to be told?

The Shared Horizons team invites young creatives from across the Western Balkans to take part in a Storytelling Competition celebrating six of the region’s most iconic historical bridges. Selected stories will be transformed into immersive Augmented Reality experiences, bringing history and imagination to life directly on the bridges themselves.

Why apply?

Winners will collaborate with experts to develop their stories into interactive AR experiences combining sound, images, and animation. These creations will not only enrich visits to the bridges, but will also be featured in public exhibitions and events across the Western Balkans, giving young authors significant regional visibility.

Who can apply?

Young creatives aged 15–29 from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.

Stories should focus on one of these bridges:

  • Gorica Bridge (Berat, Albania)
  • Stari Most (Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
  • Stone Bridge (Prizren, Kosovo)
  • Stone Bridge (Skopje, North Macedonia)
  • Adž-pasha’s Bridge (Podgorica, Montenegro)
  • White Bridge (Vranje, Serbia)
