Young journalists invited to enter Earth Journalism Awards Competition

Young and inspired writers, bloggers, journalists, musicians, and others who
have a story to tell about climate change are invited to enter the Earth
Journalism Awards Competition. Internews has created the MTV Positive Change
award for youth aged 18-28. Submissions may be made in any format or mix of
formats, including video, audio, photography, script, or music, and should
express how society is adapting, or needs to adapt, to the threat of climate
change. Entries will be accepted until September 7, 2009.

Internews’ Earth Journalism Awards Competition is designed to promote high
quality, local coverage of climate change, leading up to the United Nations
Climate Change Conference, December 7-18, 2009, in Copenhagen (COP15). At
COP15, nations of the world are scheduled to conclude negotiations on the
future of the Kyoto Protocol. Award winners will be honoured at a
high-profile awards ceremony at COP15 and will get the opportunity to cover
the negotiations.
