I'm sorry to reopen this debate... but out of respect for people who apply to your contests, you really should announce the results to everyone the same day. I know you're busy, etc. but how long does it take to post three or four names and a sentence on the website? If people take time to produce something and to be part of this platform, you should also take time to make the website more lively! Anyway, congratulations to the winners and when in Strasbourg, don't hesitate to get in touch...

Hello Salf,

The entry in the print category is completely your choice, but it should fall under the journalistic genre. As for max length, it's 1200 words
