[color=#1D2951][size=150]Welcome to Interregional Tri-Contest 2022![/color][/size]
The European Home Office is happy and proud to announce the [b]Interregional Tri-Contest 2022[/b]! This event will be co-hosted with [region]Portugal[/region], [region]10000 Islands[/region] and the [region]Forest[/region] and will comprise three different competitions: a Photography contest, a Flag Design contest and a Writing contest.

[color=#1D2951][size=150]How to Participate[/color][/size]

To participate you just need to submit your entry by sending it to the corresponding Jury whitin the deadline. 

[color=#1D2951][size=150]Rules and Requirements[/color][/size]

Each competition has its own set of rules, please read them carefully.

[spoiler=Rules for Writing Competition]The nations who wish to join must write a story regarding either an event or a simple story set within their NS countries. This part of the competition will be divided in two seperate sections: one for English-written stories.

Regarding the texts themselves, these must be written out in a dispatch in the respective language of the competition the writer wishes to join (he can submit up to 1 in each). [b]All text formats are allowed[/b] (poetry, prose...) and there is no word limit. [b]Plagiarism and hate speech will not be tolerated in a submission[/b] (though hateful topics may be explored in the narrative).

In the English competition a jury composed of players from different regions will give out four different thematic awards to the best texts: best scenery, best story progression, best character development and best plot;

As for the Portuguese one, a poll will be conducted in [region]Portugal[/region] for its citizens to choose the best text out of the bunch.

Once finished, submissions must be sent via telegram in a dispatch to:

    - All the judges, for the English competition

    - [region]Portugal[/region]'s Minister [nation]Alentejo and Algarve[/nation], for the Portuguese competition.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Rules for Photography Competition]You will be able to compete in 4 different categories, submitting up to 2 photos taken by you in each one:

    - Black and White photos

    - Photos of national monuments and landmarks

    - Animal photos

    - Free category

Filters will be permited for the photos, but their impact on the quality of the pictures will be taken in account. [b]Plagiarism won't be tolerated.[/b]

The 3 best pictures from each category will be chosen by a multirregional juri, to whom you must send your pictures with links or in other available mediums that facilitate the jury's work.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Rules for Flag Competition]The participants can submit one original design - and with absolute thematic freedom - with the following limitations:

 - You can only use up to 4 colours and in this set of 4 you can only use one of the following: green, red, blue.
