„Of NGOs and people“ is an annual competition for a short essay „Why is my organisation important for the people?” The aim is to challenge and encourage the colleagues from civil organisations to use human language in communicating with people - those with and for whom they work, the donors, the volunteers, other organisations, media, society... The competition is organised in partnership with the NGO Informational Portal in Bulgaria. A Jury consisting of active writers, journalists and bloggers selects the best essays according to three criteria: human language of writing; clear and easy to understand presentation of the organisation and its importance for the people; interesting and moving narrative: human language of writing; clear and easy to understand presentation of the organisation and its importance for the people; interesting and moving narrative.
Tulip Foundation and the Informational Portal of BOGs in Bulgaria invite civil organisations to tell about the sense of their work. Why? Because we believe that it is important for the society to know us, to understand us, to trust and support us. Thus we can do more for more people. The heading of the competition is a intended provocation and leads to its core – to challenge civil organisations to use honest, human language in their communication with people.
The competition is open for all civil organisations. Tell us in one page Why is your organisation important for the people? Or what would be different if it didn’t exist.
