Countries/Region- All Developing Countries
Seeking applications for Developing Asia Journalism Awards(DAJA) for all Developing Countries to build capacity among journalists working on key development issues.
The annual awards honor the work and contributions of journalists actively engaged in the responsible dissemination of knowledge related to poverty reduction, and other areas that support long-term growth in Asia and the Pacific.
The Asia-Pacific growth and development story over the past five decades is unprecedented. And the rapid transformation of economies is continuing. But the process of rapid growth and rising prosperity has been resource and energy intensive. In many places the impacts on the environment have been severe. Often the poor and vulnerable suffer the greatest consequences.
DAJA 2012 will highlight the opportunities, challenges, and solutions being uncovered as Asia and the Pacific seek a path to sustainable growth. Journalists are invited to submit published articles that explore the interaction between populations and the environment across the region.
Eligibility-
- Articles must be the work of an individual journalist from an ADB developing member country.
- Articles must be published works and must have appeared in a regional newspaper, magazine, or news wire service between 1 January 2012 and 31 August 2012.
- Articles must be submitted in English. Translations of articles originally published in other languages are acceptable. (ADBI will not translate articles.)
- Articles must be between 1,000 and 2,000 words in length.
- Articles must be submitted online in PDF format.
