Uks-APNS
Call for entries for the first ever
Women in Media Awards 2013
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: February 15,
2013
It is a pleasure to announce the first ever Uks-APNS
2013 media awards exclusively for women journalists in Pakistan. The awards aim
to generate better awareness and understanding of the fact that positive media
content can and does actually bring about positive change in the public
mindsets and behaviour, especially in the realm of women’s development and
gender equality.
A team of professional and independent jurors for
each category (who are also part of the Media Advisory Group at Uks) will
select the winning entries. The criteria
will cover accuracy and innovation, clarity of message, technical proficiency, and
presentation and above all, gender sensitivity.
The first of its kind in Pakistan, the ‘Women in
Media’, awards invite entries from women journalists from all across Pakistan.
The awards will be presented in Karachi on March 8, 2013 on the International
Women’s Day.
The 1st prizewinner for each category (print,
radio, TV and social media) receives a cash prize plus a trophy and
certificate, as does the runner-up. Recipients of the lifetime achievement
award and the beginner’s award also receive cash prizes, a trophy, and a
certificate.
It may be added that in 2012, Uks Research Centre
and CIPE (Centre for International Private Enterprise) held a series of
theme-based (Powerful Women, Powerful Nation) media trainings for Pakistani women
journalists to motivate them on how to highlight the positive angle in their
content to and become a driving force in turning this theme into a national
campaign. It is hoped that these 120+ women will also be contesting for the
awards.
