Every year, the Rotaract Mediterranean Executive Board together with the Country Representatives of each one of the member countries, choose the best project held by a Rotaract Club in the Mediterranean area. This is our attempt with The Mediterranean Outstanding Project Awards, which are given during the Mediterranean Convention.
The Mediterranean Prize for Peace recognizes the work done by a Mediterranean Rotaract Club promoting and, eventually, achieving peace in their communities, with the best Club Twinning Award, recognizes the best collaboration between mediterranean clubs throughout the given year.
Countdown for project submission:
(ENTER DATE - DECEMBER )
Selection Process
Phase One – Country Phase
Phase one is the country phase. In this phase, each Rotaract Mediterranean MDIO member country shall submit a maximum of:
- 5 projects for medLOVE OPA;
- 5 projects for medNature OPA;
- 5 projects for medCulture OPA;
- 3 projects for Peace Award;
- 3 projects for Best Twinning Award.
How?
Each country shall form a national selection committee comprised by:
- Country Representative;
- District Rotaract Representative;
- District Rotaract Multipletor.
This committee will be in charge of choosing the projects which will represent the country in the international phase. Each country will have the freedom to set up their own internal projects. The process, although it certainly gives more connected or higher visibility, also ensures the selected projects are the best ones.
The selected projects must be submitted to the Rotaract Mediterranean MDIO's International Service Coordinator and through awards email before the 20th of March 2023 in order to start with the second phase.
Phase Two – International Phase
The Phase Two is the International Phase, where the submitted projects will be scrutinized by the International Committee of OPA.
A maximum of 270 projects will be set for revision, assuming that all countries submit the maximum number of projects they are allowed to.
There will be a maximum of 54 projects for each category.
Country Representatives will analyze the projects provided by the International Service Coordinator and vote for the best ones, following the process stated below.
The voting shall take place from 1st April 2023 until 30 April 2023.
How?
The Country Representatives will vote on the submitted projects (out of the 54 maximum per project). They will assign 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10 and 12 points to the chosen projects. Country Representatives will not be allowed to vote for their own country's projects.
The Country Representatives may leave the remaining projects exceeding the 9 ranked without any score.
In order to determine the winner projects from each category, the International Service Coordination team will count the submitted votes by the CRs.
The project with the highest score will be the winner in that category.
Winners will be notified on 6th of May 2023 announced during the Mediterranean Convention.
