Announcement Youth Environmental News Desk Created to Honor UNEP Global 500 Award Winners
News reports on successful environmental endeavors written by people up to the age of 19 will be published and distributed worldwide by the Environment News Service (ENS), the original international daily newswire of the environment, online at: http://ens-news.com and featured on the Horizon Solutions Site at: http://www.solutions-site.org.
Entries are invited from all countries of the world. Articles will cover workable solutions to current environmental problems from an unbiased perspective. Topics will range from energy efficiency measures to corporate pollution reduction, from biodiversity preservation to agricultural practices. In recognition of their work towards protection of the environment, current
and previous Global 500 Youth Laureates are especially invited to contribute
reports. News reports published through the Youth Environmental News Desk will be translated and distributed in Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Mandarin, Swahili, French, Nepali, Punjabi, and Hindi, with distribution in other languages in the future. Young reporters can send an article together with a brief personal resume to the ENS editorial desk at news@ens-news.com. Only email submissions will be accepted. Please put the words Youth Desk in the subject line of the email message. All submissions will be reviewed by a seven member international panel chosen jointly by Horizon and ENS. At least one article each month will be selected for publication. The writers of all published reports will receive a byline and be paid a fee for their work.
Submissions for publication are due by the first of each month. One or more articles will be chosen for publication on the 15th of the month. Articles for the first round of publication are due by July 1, 2001. More contest details are available on the HORIZON Solutions Site and on the Environment News Service website. Since the inception of the Global 500 Award in 1987, 719 individuals and organizations, in both the adult and youth categories, have been honored. UNEP looks to the world community to identify and nominate environmental advocates. Nomination forms can be obtained from UNEP Headquarters, Global 500 Roll of Honor, Communications and Public Information Branch, P. O.
