OPPORTUNITIES: Call for European Young Journalist Award

Call for European Young Journalist Award

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 the European Youth Press to encourage young journalists to
reflect on, express and exchange their views about the European Union's
enlargement policy. Participants are asked to submit a recently published
article on EU enlargement via the competition website
www.EUjournalist-award.eu by March 15th 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. National juries of experienced
journalists will select the winning article from each country in April
2008. All 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 competition website <
www.EUjournalist-award.eu >. (European Young Journalist Award)
