The Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Prize for HIV/AIDS Programmes honours outstanding reporting on HIV/AIDS in the Asia-Pacific region by ABU members. The prize aims to recognise the efforts of broadcasters in creating programmes of a high standard that educate the public about HIV/AIDS, while at the same time help reduce the stigma facing those already living with the disease. The award recipient will win US$2,500 and will be flown to Bali, Indonesia, to attend the award ceremony on November 24 2008.

The deadline for application is September 15 2008.
