The focus this year is on sustainable development in Africa. Pupils from all 27 EU member states at the age 16-18 can submit posters or multimedia presentations on three new themes: climate change, water and energy, and sustainable tourism. The aim of the competition is the raise awareness on these issues among fellow pupils, teachers, families and others. The winners, runners-up and their teachers will be invited to a two-day stay in Brussels in February 2008. This includes the prize-giving ceremony where the national winners and runners-up will be awarded.The winners and their teachers will again be invited to follow Commissioner Louis Michel on one of his missions to an African country next year to witness European development assistance at work. They will visit development cooperation projects working in the education sector, including relevant initiatives from the EU Member States as well as the Commission. The deadline for submissions is 6 January 2008. Pupils can again submit on the portal or sent the original artwork to our office. You find the address at the bottom of this mail and also on the portal in the submission form. After the deadline the evaluation will take place in two rounds in which the national winner and runner-up per country will be selected.
