Journalists, filmmakers, photographers, media professionals and students from Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi and Egypt can enter a contest.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) is hosting the “Voices against child labor” media competition. This contest allows media professionals and students to contribute their voices and skills to a crucial global cause, leveraging their influence to make a real difference in the fight against child labor.
Themes for the competition include: the realities of child labor in Africa; on-line and off-line technology innovations in eradicating child labor in Africa; gender perspectives in child labor in Africa; and more.
Submissions can be video, written media or photo stories and must focus on one or more of the child labor themes.
The grand prize winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to the ILO’s Knowledge Sharing Forum in Nairobi, Kenya in May. The 10 best participants will be invited to a knowledge sharing and capacity development event in Kampala, Uganda in October.
Applicants must be employed by either African or international media outlets focusing on African topics. Students must be enrolled in any African university, whether within their home country or abroad.
The deadline is April 30.
