We are 365 days away from World Youth Day Rio2013. Young people from all over the world are waiting for the great moment with tremendous expectations in a real countdown. There are millions of dreams and millions of youth with stories to tell.

But who are these pilgrims?

How are they getting ready to come to Rio? What experiences are they living and what challenges are they facing to accomplish the goal of participating in a World Youth Day?

To show the world the faces of these young people, we, members of WYD Rio2013 Local Organization Committee, invite pilgrims of all ages to share their experiences as they gear up for the youth gathering in Rio.

The question we would like you to answer is: "How are you preparing for WYD Rio2013?"

Send us your testimony and a picture to the address: comunic@rio2013.com.

The picture must refer to the big countdown for the event with the Pope in Brazil in 2013.
You can send phrases like "It’s 1 year away", "The time for WYD is coming" and "On the Road to Rio 2013", etc.

Show Brazil and the entire world the preparation and the faces of the young people who will come to Rio next year.

The image must be a 3MB (up to 5MB) JPEG file saved in landscape format. The deadline for sending the material is July 15^th, 2012.

Show with creativity and joy how you and/or your group are preparing for Rio2013.
We will show the world that WYD 2013 has already begun!
