University of Lethbridge students have the chance to win a one-week study tour to Brussels, Belgium as part of the EU Canada Young Journalist Award competition.

Students are invited to submit a composition on a current issue facing the European Union or EU-Canada relations by Friday, January 28, 2011 to be eligible. Compositions should be in the form of a piece that could be published or broadcast in the Canadian media, and submissions should be prepared with a Canadian audience in mind. The jury will pay particular attention to journalistic qualities and potential, including rigorous research and factual accuracy.

Winners are selected by an independent jury and prior to the trip to Brussels, the winners are invited to an award ceremony in Ottawa in May 2011.

The Award is open to students in all Canadian universities and higher education establishments. For more information on this competition, follow this link to the award website.
