The Hala Nigeria project hosts a contest to reward
compelling journalism stories that use traditional and/or digital tools to
engage citizens on important health topics.
Media organizations and professional journalists working for
print, broadcast or online in Nigeria can apply for the contest. Citizen
journalists, freelance journalists and bloggers are also eligible.
In the contest's first phase, teams of journalists, technologists
and graphic designers will compete by submitting creative story ideas with the
potential for citizen engagement. The best ideas will be chosen as finalists
who will receive assistance in developing their ideas and incorporating tools
to engage the public.
Completed projects will be submitted in the second phase. Of
those, the winners will be announced in June.
Individual winners will receive cash prizes of up to US$1,000 and
the opportunity to attend an intensive EditorsLab in Lagos.
The deadline to submit ideas for the first phase of the
competition is April 11. Applications must be submitted in English.
