Press Release: ‘Enlarge your vision’ – The 2009 European Young Journalist Award is on!

The Commission's Directorate-General for Enlargement, in cooperation with the European Youth Press association and Café Babel, launched today the 2009 European Young Journalist Award, a pan-European competition for young journalists. This year Europe celebrates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the iron curtain and the 5th anniversary of the accession to the EU of eight Central and Eastern European Countries, as well as Malta and Cyprus. These anniversaries offer a special incentive for aspiring or professional journalists from all over Europe to reflect and express their views on the enlargement of the European Union.
