Compositions should be in the form of a piece that could be published or broadcast in the Canadian media. The winners will be invited on a one-week study tour to Europe, which includes a visit to the EU institutions in Brussels, paid for by the European Union. Prior to the trip, winners will be invited to an award ceremony in Ottawa in May 2011, attended b senior journalists, government officials and the diplomatic corps.
