Aspira College of Management and Design and Radio Bar Croata from Rosario, Argentina organized a competition for a family story. The goal of the contest was to encourage Croatian families in emigration to publish their stories in the recently opened Aspirin Virtual Museum of emigration. The competition ended on Friday, October 28, 2022, when the lucky winner of the prize, which was generously offered by Dean Alen Jerkunica, was drawn in a live show. The prize was drawn according to the lottery system, because all stories are equally important to us, and the lucky winner, Elena Pane de Perez Maricevich, was given the opportunity to study at Aspira College for free for a year. She is a well-known Paraguayan academic and the wife of the late academic Franscisco Perez Maricevich, and it is assumed that Mrs. Pane de Perez Maricevich will not come to study in Split, but she has the right to present the prize to a member of her family or a friend. The winner was drawn by Josip Radić, coordinator of the international cooperation office at Aspira, who can present to all interested parties what Aspira offers its students.
