The winner of the “Encourage change” contest for bloggers, part of the ONGFest 2014 campaign, is Andra Camelia Cordos.

The contest was supported by Blogalinitiative.ro. The challenge was to write a text about a situation or a field where a change or a (r)evolution is desired. The participants had to identify a non-governmental organization participating at the ONGFest 2014 edition that can do this with them or by itself and to provide details about this in the articles submitted to the contest.

The winning article, titled “Romanian intolerance – or how hard it is for us to accept the differences”, speaks about the online comments directed at Conchita Wurst, competitor at the 2014 Eurovision edition.

In total, over 30 articles have competed to win the prize: a Pegas bike. Each of these articles can be found here.
