Entries Close Friday for 2006 Journalism Awards

TOKYO, JAPAN (14 February 2005) - This is the last week to submit entries for the Developing Asia Journalism Awards (DAJA) 2006, organized by the Tokyo-based ADB Institute in association with ADB.

Entries close on Friday, 17 February at 6:00 p.m. (Tokyo time), for the awards, now in their third year. All journalists who wish to submit DAJA entries online need to register first. Optional details can be added later. Check your eligibility.

The awards - with cash prizes ranging from $2,000 to $250 - acknowledge Asian and Pacific print journalists who cover development trends and the impact these have on the countries and people of the region.

They will be based on journalists' published works (including those in translation) during 2005. Winners will be selected by a distinguished jury of practicing journalists and invited to an expenses paid awards ceremony in Manila in mid April 2006.

Prizes are given in four categories:

  • Poverty issues
  • People and development
  • Women and development
  • Development agencies and development

There are four additional Special Prizes to be selected from the main entries or separate applications.

See the awards web site for details.
