How to use the video Launch a book competition on Instagram! This material can be used on its own or as a part of the toolkit Between the lines .
The video is available in English. You can use the clean video without subtitles and the SRT file if you want to add subtitles in a local language.
Swedense offered a book by a Swedish author as a prize for the winner – perhaps you can do the same?
