Young EU journalists covering minority and indigenous issues in the Southern Hemisphere can enter a competition. The deadline for submissions is December 31.

The award, sponsored by Minority Rights Group International, will go to one journalist who has covered a development issue, such as gender, education, poverty, health or the environment. The winner will be awarded a research trip to visit a developing community and report on his or her experiences.

Applicants must be under 30, be working or studying in the EU, and have written their story within the last 12 months. Print, broadcast and online journalists are eligible to apply.
