The campaign has been launched by "Proud Paralympian", the IPC’s athlete education programme, and aims to find six bloggers for Pyeongchang 2018. 

The IPC ran a similar programmes for London 2012, Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016. 

Athletes can enter the competition by submitting a 60-second film highlighting how they make a difference by changing perceptions and redefining the limits of what is possible.

The videos need to be submitted to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and include both hashtags #ProudParalympian and #PyeongChang2018.

Videos submitted via Facebook must be posted on the Proud Paralympian’s timeline.

Twitter and Instagram videos can be posted on the athlete’s own timeline, providing it is a public account.

Successful video entrees will provide a compelling story, including ow the athlete exceeds expectations on the field of play and how they break down barriers in daily life or in their community.

After submitting their videos, a panel of judges will draw up a shortlist, which will then be voted on by the public with the top six athletes becoming Paralympic bloggers at Pyeongchang 2018, due to take place between March 8 and 18. 

The competition is open to any current or aspiring Paralympian for Pyeongchang 2018 over the age of 18.

Katja Saarinen, a member of the IPC Athletes Council, who will be on the judging panel, is excited by the idea of the campaign.

"This is a great opportunity for athletes to show the world what it means to be a Proud Paralympian, and help to raise the profile of Paralympic sport," she said. 

"We believe that athletes can make a difference by changing perceptions, contributing towards a more inclusive society by redefining the limits of what is possible."

The winning athletes will be given a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, along with other Samsung products, on which to record behind-the-scenes videos at next year’s games, offering a unique insight into the life of a Paralympian.
