The European Commission has launched a poster competition with the title The European Union and non-discrimination, 2007 being the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All. European children and teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 are invited to design a poster about non-discrimination in the EU. The aim of the competition is to raise awareness among young Europeans of the work being done by the EU in this field.

Those wishing to take part in the competition will have to design a poster illustrating the idea of non-discrimination in the European Union. Participants are divided into two age categories (12-14 and 15-18) and must work in groups of at least four.

To participate, a team of not less than four youngsters together with one adult should register on the web site www.eurozghazagh.eu by not later than 29 October. The deadline to submit the posters is 31 October.
