2007 Bridgestone e-Reporter deadline fast approaching

Two weeks left for young writers to win chance of a lifetime to report from GP2 race Deadline to submit entries is Saturday 31 March 2007 The deadline to enter the 2007 Bridgestone e-reporter competition for young, aspiring journalists is now just two weeks away with all entries for the competition due no later than 31 March 2007.

Competition for this year's e-reporter is as fierce as ever as Bridgestone, sole tyre supplier for the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship and to the prestigious GP2 Series, searches for the next generation of motorsport writing talent.

Now in its fourth year, Bridgestone e-reporter is a Europe-wide competition open to all students aged 18-30, who are in full time education. Seven finalists will be selected to attend a European Grand Prix weekend where GP2 - the feeder series to Formula One - will showcase the Grand Prix stars of tomorrow. GP2's recent graduates have included Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Heikki Kovalainen, all of whom have become fully fledged Formula One drivers and will be showcasing their talent at this weekend's season-opening race in Australia.

Finalists' will be asked to write GP2 race reports and diary entries that will be published on the Bridgestone Europe and Bridgestone Motorsport websites. The overall winner will then get to report on the final GP2 race of the season in a journalistic role, with full access to the paddock and the opportunity to see their work published in a specialist magazine.

Written entries should be submitted online at www.bridgestone.eu/e-reporter by 31 March and will be judged by a panel of international media representatives from the world of motorsport, including ITV F1 commentator James Allen, Sky Sports broadcaster Tony Jardine, Motorsport News Editor Jim Holder, Bridgestone Motorsport Press Officer Rachel Ingham, and GP2 series Media Manager Will Buxton.
