The European Young Journalist Award 2010 kicks off
Win a prize to visit Istanbul.
The European Commission’s Directorate General for Enlargement has launched the European Young Journalist Award 2010 (EYJA). The competition will reward Europe‘s best young journalists, focusing on EU Enlargement, for the third year running.
Who’s it for?
The EYJA 2010 is open to journalists and journalism students, aged 17 – 35 and is an opportunity to discuss EU Enlargement from creative and thought-provoking angles.
Deadline and submission details
The competition will run until 28 February 2010. Print, online and radio journalism, published between 1 October 2007 and 28 February 2010 (this includes anything you’ve published on SpunOut.ie), can be submitted by citizens of one of the EU Member States, Candidate Countries, Potential Candidates or Iceland.
The hook-up
A national winner will be selected by official juries in each of the 36 participating countries. An international jury will then select the three best submissions in the following categories:
- Most original
- Best research
- Best journalistic style
Each of the three Special Prize winners will receive a cultural trip, to a European capital of their choice.
The winners of the EYJA 2010 will visit Istanbul in May 2010 for a cultural and historical trip. Istanbul, one of Europe’s Capitals of Culture for 2010, provides an ideal location for the winners to enlarge their vision through cross-cultural interaction and to meet other journalists. The trip will end with a conference where views will be exchanged with leading international analysts about European culture, identity and EU Enlargement.
