Guardian launches new development journalism competition
The competition, which launched last week in association with the Department for International Development and GlaxoSmithKline, is open to UK-based students and freelance journalists.
Entrants will be asked to submit a 650-1000-word article on one of the aspects of global poverty listed on Guardian's website by May 6.
Forty entrants will be short-listed and have their article published on the Guardian website.
Sixteen finalists will then be selected to visit Africa or Asia and see development work in action and choose an issue to investigate further.
The finalists, eight amateur and eight professionals, will see their final article published in print in the Guardian and will also receive a computing equipment prize.
