All submissions will be reviewed and selected by a group of international reviewers who are experts in the field to ensure that the Youth Programme is vibrant and diverse with activities that address a range of issues and priority groups, as outlined by the Youth Programme Working Group. All applicants will be notified in April 2010 if their application has been successful or not.

Tips
Look at the AIDS 2008 Youth Website to see what sort of Youth Programme was at the Mexico conference
Think about submitting a joint application with other/another group(s).
Joint applications are stronger and show how communities can work together.
Plan your application well in advance of sending it. The sooner you send it in the better. Sometimes it is difficult to link to the online application form in the last 48 hours before the deadline. Don’t t leave your application until the last minute.
You can also save your application as a draft and work on it later on before finally submitting. If you need help, please check the list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the AIDS 2010 website, and if you have further questions please write to youth@aids2010.org.
It is useful to include supporting documents/pictures or examples of your work on the web.
