The "Competition of Young Communicators on the Path to the EU," implemented by the Secretariat General for the European Union Affairs, finds it winners this weekend.

The Competition, which was launched by Minister for European Union Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bağıþ on 25 November 2010, aims to allow the youth to use their creative ideas for the European Union, as well as learn more about the Union and the Turkish-EU relations.

The competition, which was held in the fields of short film, radio spot or reportage; open air advertisements and slogans, was realized through the participation of 24 universities and five vocational schools.

"The competition is the first in terms of benefit from the creativity of young communicators for overcoming the prejudices and the lack of information in the public of Türkiye and European Union," Mr. Bağıþ said of the competition.

The initial selection of the Young Communicators' works is carried out by each university. The winners will be announced on Sunday following the selection of a National Jury, which comprises of both academics and professionals of the communications sector.
