大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition
大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition 2024
The 大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition 2024 is now closed.
What is the 大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition?
It is an annual opportunity for anyone aged 11-18 in the UK to submit an original story idea to the 大象传媒.
大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition winners have the unique chance to tell their story on TV, radio, online or on social media with the help of 大象传媒 journalists, producers and programme makers.
We ask young people for original and true stories about their lives and the world they live in and to explain their personal connection to the story and why they want to tell it to a wider audience.
