If you are then you might be interested in this.
The times are running a competition for young photographers, the prize is 6 months working with a times photographer and a canon EOS camera, it would be a great way to break into a photojournalism career if that's what you want to do!
I was reading the paper this morning and came across it so decided to look it up online.
Unfortunately, I'm too young, but maybe in 2 years I'll give it a shot!
Anyway, here's the link: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/youngphotographer/
Go for it and good luck!
