The National Council for the Training of Journalists is running new a competition in partnership with regional newspapers to mark its 60th anniversary.

The competition will be open to 16 to 18 year olds who want to see their work in print to submit a 200 word news story to their local newspaper for judging.

A single winner will then be selected by members of the NCTJ board and the winning student will be awarded a cash prize, work experience and careers advice.

Full details of the competition, which opens for entries on 18 April, is at this link.
