Falklands' competition open to students from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay
In 2017, Mauricio Giraudo was the Uruguayan winner, who traveled with Marco Aurélio Franceschini from Brazil and Hristo Gómez from Chile. The Government of the Falkland Islands and the British Embassies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay invites university students to participate. This regional competition offers winners the chance to visit the Falklands for a week with all the costs covered.
To participate, contestants should send a one minute video answering the question: “Why would I like to meet my neighbors from the Falkland Islands?” in English. The deadline for participants to submit their videos is 11:59 pm on 30 September.
Winners will be staying with a local family, to experience first-hand the life in the Falkland Islands. The ideal winner should be active in social media and willing to share his/her experience about the Falkland Islands through these channels.
The contest is meant to promote the cultural exchange between the Falklands and the region, and to spread the knowledge about the Falkland Island and its people.

Seems like the application profile is specifically tailored to receive your bid! Should be an easy walkover for you.
Never too late for an old dog to turn new tricks; you should get your scholarship application in. The Falklands might soon be well positioned to offer exile status to Mr Macri if his woes escalate much further. He could subscribe... how do you say it, an Honorary Fellow, for trying his best...
Sep 03rd, 2018 - 07:17 pm 0As for The Telegraph, normally a great read and much favoured over that leftist, liberalist clap trap Guardian/Observer, but the article you quote was a missile or two short of its mark; a disappointment for you.
Still being irrelevant, Think?
