CNN MULTICHOICE AFRICAN JOURNALIST OF THE YEAR AWARDS


African journalists, including freelancers, are invited to apply for the 2005 CNN MultiChoice awards for excellence in reporting. The competition is open to Africa-based professional journalists and technicians who work in print, television, radio or Internet-based media.

Fifteen awards are available in categories ranging from general news, sports, arts and culture to photography and business. Applicants can submit up to two entries per category. This year, a new category for journalism in Portuguese has been added.

A panel of judges will look for entries that tell a story in a clear and balanced manner, demonstrate investigative and journalistic flair, and display well organised research, depth and insight. Entries must include works that were broadcast or published between January and December 2004.

The deadline for applications is 7 March 2005.
