Got what it takes to be among the country’s top teen journalists?

WE’VE got TWO more BRATs camps coming up this year, so if you’ve always wanted to be part of the most awesome young journalist programme around, you better apply ASAP!

Not only will you be trained in all the ways of our kind (yes, we journos are a different breed), you will also get to go on crazy/exciting #selfie-worthy field assignments. Not many people get to experience the stuff we do at these assignments, because, well, they’re not with the BRATs.

And once you complete your assignments – and deliver all your work before the deadlines – you get to join the BRATs family AND have the opportunity to become a regular writer/contributor for us. You’ll even get paid!

Sounds like fun? Here’s how you apply:

1.  Go to facebook.com/starbrats, and download the BRATs registration form. You can “Like” us while you’re there too. #JustSaying…

2. Select which of the two workshops you would like to attend – Sept 17-20 or Dec 10-13.

3. Blow us away with an essay or video titled “Why I want to be a journalist”. Keep your essays below 1,000 words, and your videos shorter than three minutes. For videos,

upload them to YouTube and send us the link.

4. Send your essay/video link and completed registration forms to brats@thestar.com.my. You could also send it via snail mail to:

Menara Star

The deadline for applications is July 22. BRATs is open to all Malaysians aged 16-19. The list of successful applicants will be announced right here on August 5!
