Thomson Foundation hosts journalism competition

Journalists under the age of 30 working in developing countries can compete for this award.

The Thomson Foundation is launching a new category - “young journalist from the developing world” - as part of the UK Foreign Press Association (FPA) Awards.

Three finalists will be flown to London for the gala award night in November along with a host of other potential award winners and leading figures from the world of journalism.

Journalists working in countries with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of less than US$20,000 are eligible.
Entrants should submit a portfolio of three published pieces of work (print, audio, video, multimedia, or a combination of all four) produced in the 12 months preceding Sept. 18, 2013. Entries can be in any language but should be accompanied by a verbatim English-language translation.

The deadline is Sept. 18.
