"European Competition 2007: The European Union (EU) and Non-Discrimination" competition invites European children and teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 to design a poster on non-discrimination in the EU. The aim of the competition is to raise awareness among young Europeans of the work being done by the EU in this field. Participants will be divided into two age categories (12-14 and 15-18) and must work in groups of at least four. The entries will be judged first at the national level, and prizes will be awarded to the three best teams in each age category at ceremonies to be held in each country on November 20 2007, International Children's Rights Day.

The winners of the first prize in the national competition will compete in a second round at the European level. The three top teams in each age group will be invited to visit Brussels from December 15 to 17 2007 for a tour of the city and the European institutions and to attend a European award ceremony hosted by European Commission Vice-President Frattini. The best posters will be displayed on the websites of the Commission's representations in the member states and on the Europa server. They may also be used in future European anti-discrimination campaigns.

The deadline for application is September 24 2007, with the poster submission deadline on October 31 2007.
