Offered by the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), this award is for high quality, innovative radio or television programmes for children that educate and entertain. The programmes should be with children and for children. They may also cover key child-related issues - for example, child protection, girls' education, childhood development, HIV/AIDS etc. While such programmes would raise awareness and educate, they should also be creative and entertaining for children.

The minimum length of the programme should be 10 minutes, and the maximum duration must not exceed 60 minutes. Feature or programme must be made or broadcast between October 2005 and October 2006.

Applications can be team or individual entries and programme entries may be in any language but they must be subtitled in English for television entries. Radio programmes in languages other than English must be sent with a clear text in English explaining the concept of the programme and its impact.
