The Motor Sports Association, the governing body of UK motor sport, is inviting submissions for the seventh Renault / MSA Young Motor Sport Journalist and Photographer of the Year awards.

Established in 2002 with support from Renault UK Limited, these two awards are designed to recognise and encourage the new generation of motor sport reporters and photographers working within UK motor sport. A panel of recognised experts from the sport and the media will consider the applications and the eventual winners will receive their awards at the MSA's star-studded 'Night of Champions' ceremony in January.

The winners not only receive recognition as notable talents of the future, but also cheques for £1,000. The winning photographer will also have their pictures displayed on the walls within Motor Sports House.

Candidates must have been aged 25 or under on the January 1, 2008, and be able to demonstrate published work involving domestic UK motor sport. They can come from local, regional, specialist or electronic media and are required to submit a minimum of three published articles or photographs from the UK media this year.

Application forms are available by email from msa@bentaylor.uk.com and entries must be submitted by December 1, 2008.
