The Pan African Climate Justice Alliance is an Africa-wide NGO which promotes a global environment free from the threat of climate change, with sustainable development, equity and justice for all.
The organization is launching the 2014 African Climate Change and Reporting Awards, which honour journalists whose work has enhanced access to information about climate change.
African journalists from established private or public media houses, as well as freelancers, can submit their original work in either English or French. There are five submission categories: print, television, broadcast, photojournalism and online/social media. Twelve awards are available, including runner-up prizes. Two winners will be selected in the print and broadcast categories: one in French and one in English.
Each winner will receive a certificate and $1,000 US.
The deadline for submissions is May 15. Entries should be submitted to: accerawards@pacja.org, and copied to: info@pacja.org
