For a radio or television feature on development...
Offered by the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) and the World Bank, this award is for an outstanding radio or television feature that illustrates development issues - whether they be social or economic, or dealing with good governance or with technical or environmental initiatives, or the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the set of international targets to be reached by the year 2015 to improve the lives of the world's economically poorest. As part of the awards package the World Bank is offering global distribution of short versions of the winning programmes on UNIFEED and NewsMarket.
The programme must be more than a simple narrative. It must be engaging for a wide audience, and focus clearly on a development issue. Production values will be taken into account.
The minimum length of the programme should be 10 minutes, and the maximum duration must not exceed 60 minutes. The programme must be made or broadcast for the first time 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.
