The competition is particularly addressed to young journalists under the age of 30 who are working in a country defined as “developing”, which means in this case regions with a GDP per capita of less than $ 20,000. Bulgaria belongs to such countries, check the World Bank for an international overview.
To apply, journalists not older than 30 years have to hand in a portfolio of three published pieces of work which have been produced during the last 12 months. The media can be chosen freely, any format and language is accepted. However, candidates have to provide an English summary if this is not their working language.
