Participation Requirements

The competition is open to those aged 11-25 participating as individuals or groups of students through their school, college, university, or youth group. The YRE programme is run by FEE’s national member organisation, who runs the programme and/or National Competition. All the entries to the YRE International Competition must first be submitted through the National Competition in each YRE member country. Students may submit more than one type of submission to different media categories.

AGE CATEGORIES

There are three age categories in the YRE International Competition: 11-14, 15-18 and 19-25. It is the participant’s age on the day they submit their entry to the National Competition (or on the day of submission deadline for International Schools) that must be given and defines which age category they enter. Those submitting a group project must submit in the age category of the oldest member of their team. Photo entries are submitted within the one age category 11-25, but in three subcategories: single reportage photo, single environmental campaign photo, and a photo story of 3-5 photos.

Age categories might differ in your country so we recommend you check your country’s national requirements by contacting your National Operator.
