The time has come, the NewsTeam is holding applications! Do you enjoy writing interesting texts or do you prefer to make beautiful layouts? Do you work well in a team and want to work in a small team with a bunch of lovely people? Then the NewsTeam might be the right for you! If you are interested then make sure to send us an application by using the format in the text box to the right. This time the application format looks a bit different from last year so read everything carefully!
We also just wanted to make you all aware that we are prioritising layouter applications this time around. This doesn't mean that we won't let any new writer(s) in, but getting a few new layouters is our main focus, and thus if you are considering applying for the layouter position, we would highly encourage you to do so.
