Good news! We begin the second contest of young journalists "Welcome!". The first one was held last year. In that contest took part 196 works from participants from 11 countries.

As before the contest is organized by Sverdlovsk regional children's public organization "Lotsman" (“Maritime pilot”) and online magazine "Kid's Club". And this year, the organizers included the educational institution - Center for Children and Youth "Sozvezdie" ("Constellation") (Yekaterinburg, Russia). As before, we invite to participate in the contest both those who have already decided to become a journalist, and those who just want to try their hands at this interesting and important matter. We live in a post-industrial, information society. The information in our world is the most important and valuable resource. Journalist - is a person who not only consumes, but also creates new flows of information. Moreover, being a creator is always honorable. Creators are changing our world!

If you are engaged in a children's press center or work in the school newspaper editorial - welcome to the contest!

Not engaged in anything out of that, but you believe that you can be interesting to tell about some event, journey, book or movie - join us!

If you want to expand your portfolio - participating in the contest will be helpful as well. Materials passed selection (not only the winners) will be published on the website "Kid's Club", which is a registered media.

Read all the details in the regulations. There is only brief information in this article.

“Everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard.”

You have the knowledge to understand a thing, and you even have the voice to interpret things. Everyone can achieve both abilities, but not all can accomplish all of them.

Philippines is one of the major spots of attraction worldwide, given its own remark of being the “Perlas ng Silangan” or in English, the “Pearl of the East”. This country has the typical characteristics of an attractive country. Tourist spots, mega diverse organisms, wide history, etc... These things had lured you out already, the present happenings in Philippines still matters.

There are killings out there, but not the typical event you all know. Crimes, terrorism, not like that. It’s extrajudicial. It’s out of the law. Guess what? There are no criminals intended in this situation, cops and vigilantes are the killers. This technique is used to stop the illegal drug acts caused by illegal drug pushers. However, it had gone too brutal yet.

Rich people accused for illegal drug acts aren’t killed instantly, but the rights of each people poured down into the canal. Poor people are killed instantly. Instant killing on poor seems unfair. On poor people’ states, accusation and suspicions are enough to become the warrant of arrest.

How about the innocent lives? They are killed and killed and killed! No sense at all for poor people! They aren’t treated on the right way. A new aspect developed on that, poor people are the worst. Their voice distorted. Their knowledge loosened. Hence, can’t understand, can’t interpret.

There’s still a hope that will lie on every people, especially the victims of the unruly killings.

There will still be a voice and knowledge for people to interpret and understand.
