SARAJEVO, 30 October 2001 (OSCE) -- The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina has selected the juries that will review the songs, comics, photos and essays submitted for the "My World - My Bosnia and Herzegovina" competition. The contest is part of the OSCE Youth Campaign aimed at involving youth in the country's civil, economic and political life.
All the jury members are under or about 30 and represent young people from throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. The juries will select three submissions in each of the four categories - song, comic, photo and essay - which will then be published on the OSCE Mission website. The selected songs will also be played on radio stations throughout the country. The public will be able to vote for their favourite contest contribution, on the Web or by calling radio stations, and it is their votes which will decide the outcome of the contest.
Bosnia and Herzegovina youth aged 16 to 25 can submit their work until 20 November 2001. The prizes are worth competing for. They include a trip to France with a visit to the Comic Convention 2002, a digital camera, a computer set and - for the winner of the song contest - the professional production of the submitted song.
