Essay and Photography Competition‏

‘Our rights, Our freedoms’ Competition!

To celebrate the 60th  anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Council of  Europe and ELSA International have launched a competition for law students in Europe.

Under the slogan ’Our  Rights, Our Freedoms’, the competition – involving a writing  and an artistic section – is designed to appraise the history and  performance of the European Convention and Court of Human Rights.

Participants are invited to submit an essay, assessing achievements and shortcomings of the Strasbourg legal system, or a photo reportage showing the Human Rights Convention’s impact on European citizens’ day-to-day lives.

The competition was launched at the International Council  Meeting of ELSA in Malta from 21st to 28th March and the award ceremony will take place in Strasbourg in October 2010.
