AMMAN, July 30 (Saba) - Journalists across the Middle East and North Africa are being encouraged to enter their best reportage about children's rights to UNICEF's regional media award.
This year's theme is "Children in the Middle East and North Africa: Rights and Challenges."
Time is running out, with less than two months for journalists to submit their best stories and other coverage of children for judging. Entries can be in English, Arabic or French.
The annual competition encourages excellence in media reporting on the situation of children in the region and the issues facing them. It recognises the passion and commitment of those who have written objectively and factually about children's issues. Applicants' work must adhere to the highest standards of journalism and in strict observance of ethical guidelines in reporting on children's issues.
The media award includes six categories: TV, radio, print, photography, online media and editorial cartooning. Materials need to have been published or broadcast between 20 July 2011 and 20 August 2012. Applications are submitted directly to journalists' local UNICEF country office, which does the first round of judging. Finalists are then judged by a jury at the regional level.
The award recognises journalists for excellence in reporting on children's issues and does not involve a financial award. Full details about the award are available online.
