The competition aims to empower journalists through mentorship, resource sharing, and financial support to develop and publish their child-focused stories on any mainstream news platform. It rewards innovative journalism about children and encourages journalists to rethink how they perceive and engage children on issues affecting them. The journey from initial idea to final published story demonstrates remarkable growth in storytelling.
ELIGIBILITY:
The Competition is open to professional journalists, whether directly employed or freelancers, working in the continent of Africa and there is no entry fee payable.
Story ideas can be targeted at any mainstream news medium such as TV, Radio or Online.
