GENDER IN JOURNALISM AWARDS


The Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) seeks applications for the 2005 Gender in Journalism Awards, which honour excellence in gender sensitive reporting in the country.

Two awards, each carrying a cash prize of Rs 25,000
(US$400), will be given to Pakistani journalists. One award will recognise models for excellence and best practices in coverage of gender related issues. It is open to both male and female journalists.
The second award honours outstanding coverage of any issue by a female journalist. Its aim is to promote role models for women entering or planning to enter the journalism field.

Journalists working in print media may nominate their own work, or editors and others may nominate articles that promote the objectives of the awards. Applicants must submit works published in Pakistani media between 31 January and 31 December 2004. Entries can be in English or Urdu but must include translations.

The Gender in Journalism Awards are supported by UNESCO.

The deadline for applications is 28 February 2005. Winners will be announced on 3 May 2005.
