We are organizing a competition for all members and non members of World Assembly of Youth, who have a keen interest in Youth issues. The competition is based on the 14 priority youth issues that the UN set out to be achieved by 2015 so as to develop the youth. The issues are presented in a report entitled the World Programme of Action for Youth.

To this end the World Assembly of Youth (WAY) will be having a competition based on these issues. The idea is to have the competitors come up with presentations, reports, essays, discussions, poems or forms of arts that would portray how they would tackle the issues. Creativity in your ideas is the key. You can also find these issues on our website-http://www.way.org.my/issues.html. This competition will run on a monthly base, with new topics suggested monthly.

Our first issue, which we would like to hear from you all, is on “Youth Poverty and Hunger Eradication” The rules are simple, anyone youthful can enter, preferable between the ages of 18 to 35 years. Copies of Entries should be received by 27th March 2009 .They can be sent by Email, Fax or Snail mail {post}. For reports and discussion please limit your words to 3000 words, preferable typed, Font size 12, Times New Roman.

Finally the big question what’s the prize? Well as a grand gesture and this being the first competition, the winner of the competition will have the honor of presenting their entry to our event, the International Youth Forum-“Role of Youth Towards Poverty Eradication”, to be held in Tripoli, Libya from 13th to 15th April 2009. The winner will also be issued with a certificate and appreciation trophy as well as being fully sponsored for this trip.

Not to forget the others, consolation prizes {certificate} will be awarded to the 2nd and 3rd best entry So put on your thinking cap and get the pen and paper  or whatever makes you happy and start writing or drawing.
