The “Faces of America” Language Competition

The “Faces of America” Language Competition is a unique initiative aimed at promoting English language proficiency, enhancing linguistic skills among high school students, and increasing awareness of American culture. This year, the competition finals will take place on March 27, 2025, in the University Hall of the Faculty of Law and Administration at UMCS in Lublin.

The competition is team-based and consists of three stages. A team of three students prepares a competition entry in the form of a short film (maximum 120 seconds) in English, titled “My Favourite Face of America.” The film should showcase one iconic and favorite fictional or real-life character representing the cultural and geographical landscape of the United States.

Submissions must be sent to [email protected] from the announcement date until February 27, 2025. Based on the submitted films, 60 teams will advance to the second stage. The results of the first stage will be announced on the website www.umcs.pl in the “Candidate” section and via email by March 6, 2025.

The second stage involves a multiple-choice test assessing English language proficiency. The top five teams will qualify for the final stage, where they will compete in a multimedia quiz on general knowledge about the United States.

The winners will receive valuable prizes, including electronic devices. Participants in the second and third stages will also receive diplomas and UMCS merchandise.

The competition is organized by the Promotion and Science Popularization Office, operating within the UMCS Promotion Center, in collaboration with the UMCS Center for Language Teaching and Certification.

The event is held under the honorary patronage of the Rector of UMCS, Prof. Dr. Hab. Radosław Dobrowolski, the Mayor of Lublin, Dr. Krzysztof Żuk, the Marshal of the Lublin Voivodeship, Jarosław Stawiarski, and the Polish-American Fulbright Commission. Media partners include Dziennik Wschodni, Radio Lublin, and the UMCS Academic Television “TV UMCS.”
