Print and online journalists around Europe are being invited to help raise awareness on discrimination issues – and win a trip to the EU country of their choice.

They have until the end of the month to enter the For Diversity. Against Discrimination competition.

To win they must submit articles on the subject of combating discrimination and promoting diversity in employment.

Media professionals and anti-discrimination experts will select 25 national award winners plus three finalists for the EU-wide award. The entries will be judged according to their news value, relevance, complexity of research and preparation, originality, creativity and quality of the article, as well as their significance for the general public.

Articles should be published in the media any time between 1 January and 31 December 2004 but the full rules can be accessed here.

The overall winner of the award and two runners-up will win a study trip to an EU country of their choice where they can combine leisure with a programme tailor-made for their specific journalistic interests, to a total value of €6000.
