    African journalists are invited to enter the CNN MultiChoice African Journalist Awards 2012. The awards aim to reinforce the importance of journalists’ role in Africa, and to recognize and develop journalistic talent across all disciplines.

    There are 16 award categories, including Radio General News. Entries must have been broadcast or published − in English, French or Portuguese only − between January and December 2011.

    An independent judging panel will select a group of finalists. Each finalist will receive a cash prize, with each category winner also receiving a laptop computer and printer. The overall winner will receive an opportunity to participate in the CNN Journalism Fellowship at CNN Headquarters in Atlanta. The deadline to apply is January 26, 2012.
