COMESA ANNOUNCES MEDIA AWARDS
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) has announced the launch of its annual media awards for 2014. The COMESA Media Awards 2014 are open for published and broadcasted works in the fields of Print, Radio, Television, and online media that focus on programmes and activities relating to regional economic integration in Eastern and Southern Africa.
The objective of the Awards is to promote reporting of COMESA regional integration activities and recognize journalists whose works contribute to the integration agenda. The awards are open to journalists from the 19 COMESA Member States. Eligible entries are for works published/broadcast between January and December 2014
Selection of the best works will be decided upon by an adjudication panel identified by COMESA Secretariat from Member States. Winners shall be announced and prizes awarded during the COMESA Heads of State and Government Summit in Addis Ababa expected to take place in the first half of 2015. The first prize in each category carries a monetary award, a trophy and a certificate.
Winners for COMESA Media Awards 2013 were Julius Barigaba of the EastAfrican Newspaper and Xavier Ahabyona of the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation. The duo was presented with certificates of merit by President Joseph Kabila Kabange of D R Congo during the COMESA Heads of State Summit in Kinshasa in February this year. They also received cash awards of $2000 each.
Each year since 2009, COMESA invites media practitioners from the region to submit published articles and audio/visual productions relevant to the regional integration agenda for consideration for awards.
