YOUTH COMPETITION ON ENVIRONMENT

The E.U. Directorate General for Environment is organizing a competition for young people across the globe. The winners will be invited to Brussels during the Green Week 2002 to receive prizes from Environment Commissioner Margot Wallström.

The competition consists of two different categories – speech writing and photography.

Entries should focus on the relation between environment and youth’s heath. The speech should be less than 1000 words and be written in one of the official languages of the EU. Entries should be submitted on a special entry form available on the EUROPA server:
