Entries to SADC Media Awards and Water Awards competition close this month

Entries to the 2015 SADC Media Awards Competition and the Water Media Awards close on 31 March 2015...

The SADC Media Awards were established following a decision by the Council of Ministers in 1996 to establish a sector that deals with matters relating to amongst others, information, culture and sport. These awards serve as part of ensuring a link, coordination and synchronisation between formal structures of SADC governments, civil society, academia, labour and the media.

To promote regional integration and cooperation (cross-border issues), the awards aim to recognise excellence in journalism in the area of print, photo, television, radio as well as to encourage media practitioners in member states to cover issues pertaining to the region.

The competition also consists of the Water Media Awards that are aimed at recognising stories that promote Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the SADC region. The competition has four categories namely print, photojournalism, television and radio.
