European Young Journalist Award on EU Enlargement topics

Young journalists from all over Europe are invited to participate in a pan-European competition on EU-enlargement issues. The European Commission's Directorate-General for Enlargement launched this competition together with European Youth Press to encourage young journalists to reflect and express their views on the European Union's enlargement policy and to exchange their views. Participants are asked to submit a recently published article on EU enlargement via the competition website www.EUjournalist-award.eu until March 15, 2008.

Entries can be written in one of the official EU languages or one of the languages of the candidate and potential candidate countries. The aim of the competition is to select a national winner for each country, while also initiating exchange and networking among young European journalists. After handing in their articles, national juries of experienced journalists will select the winning article from each country in April 2008. All the 35 winners will be invited on a trip through Western Balkan countries and will have the opportunity to participate in a conference with media representatives from various countries in June 2008. More information and ideas for articles are available on the website of the competition www.EUjournalist-award.eu
