A great opportunity for students to be published alongside some of the best journalists in the UK

Competition open to aspiring student writers

Many crucial issues facing the developing world are often overlooked or underrepresented by the media. The Guardian International Development Journalism Competition aims to find enthusiastic writers who want to demonstrate their journalistic abilities by examining these issues.

This is a great opportunity for your students to be published alongside some of the best journalists in the UK and become one of 16 finalists taken on assignment to Africa or Asia to write a feature that will be published in a special Guardian supplement later this year.

All entrants need to do is write a 650-1000 word article on an aspect of global poverty covered by the themes set and upload it using our online entry form at the website.

The entry period closes on 30 April 2010

All the information needed to enter is available at the Guardian website
