Europarl Today: Contest Award 2009

Twenty young Europeans   in the spotlights.

The European Parliament webTV   is about to reward the best report

broadcasted in its programme   'The Contest'.

This initiative was launched   with CIRCOM,

an association which federates   European regional TV channels.

The 'Contest' Award   is a real European adventure.

Twenty young European journalists   working for European local channels.

They all wanted to improve   their journalistic talents

and took part in   the CIRCOM summer course,

which is an association   of European local public channels.

Ten reports were born   from this adventure.

These reports were broadcasted   on EuroparlTV all year long.

The specifications were simple:   talk about Europe.

They travelled throughout Europe to tell   stories with images in the best way.

They're young journalists seeking   to improve their talents.

The competing reports addressed   great European topics,

like immigration, health care or Turkey.

The aim is to create something nice,   something good,

something human and concrete   about Europe,

and to make this EuroparlTV-CIRCOM   award a reference,

The Contest Award 2009 will be given   next week in Strasbourg.

It will crown weeks of hard work.   Any takers?

The Contest Award 2010   will also be launched then.
