'Our Rights, Our Freedoms' Essay and Photography 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.  

There will be three individual prizes of 3 000€, 2 000€ and 1 000€ in the essay category, and three group prizes of 5 000€, 3 000€ and 2 000€ in the photo report category. The best entries will be published online and in print by the Council of Europe and ELSA. 

The results of the competition will be announced during the ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights to be held in the autumn in Strasbourg.
