Entries for Discovery Health Journalism Awards close on 12 February

All health journalists in South Africa are welcome to submit work that was published or broadcast between 1 January and 31 December 2015. From 2016, the category Best Foreign Media will also be opened to foreign journalists, based in South Africa, who report about health matters for world media.

The Discovery Health Journalism Awards aims to recognise excellence in all health reporting and there is nothing better than reaching someone in his or her own language. Therefore, it also encourages submission of written and radio entries in indigenous African languages.

Winners in each category will receive R25,000 and the overall winner R75,000. The website has all the categories, entry criteria, and prize details available. For more information, go to www.discoveryhealthjournalismawards.co.za.
