“Enlarge your vision” - European Young Journalist Award on EU Enlargement

The Commission's Directorate-General for Enlargement in cooperation with the European Youth Press association launched a pan-European competition for young journalists from all over Europe. The objective of the competition is to encourage young journalists to reflect and express their views on the European Union's enlargement policy.

Young journalists aged 17-35 from all the EU member states as well as from candidate and potential candidate countries* (Western Balkans and Turkey) are invited to submit to the competition a recently published article on EU enlargement. The deadline for submission of articles is 15 March 2008.

The participants can enter the competition on a special website www.EUjournalist-award.eu . There, they can also read articles on the EU's enlargement policy and find interesting tips for a career in journalism. At the end of the competition in April 2008, national juries made up of media representatives will select a winning article for each country and these articles will be published on the competition website.
