Media urged to submit entries to SADC Media Awards competition

South African media practitioners have been called to submit their entries to the 2025 Southern African Development Community (SADC) Media Awards competition.

“To promote regional integration and cooperation (cross-border issues), the awards aim to recognise excellence in journalism in the area of print, photo, television, radio as well as to encourage media practitioners in member states to cover issues pertaining to the region,” the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) said on Wednesday.

The SADC Media Awards competition is open to journalists/media from the SADC Member States.  

They were established in 1996 to recognise best media work in disseminating information on SADC to support the process of regional cooperation and integration in the region. 

The first prize winners will receive their prizes and certificates on the margins of the SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government, which will take place in August 2025. 

The first prize winner in each category receives US$2 500 and the runner-up receives US$1 000.

The awards were established following a decision by the SADC Council of Ministers to establish a sector that deals with matters relating to, amongst others, information, culture and sport.

They present a unique opportunity for the SADC region’s journalists to be celebrated and recognised by their peers.

These awards are one of the mechanisms to ensure a link, coordination and synchronisation between formal structures of SADC governments, civil society, academia, labour and the media.

Journalists who wish to enter the competition can access more information about the competition from https://www.gcis.gov.za/sites/default/files/docs/SADCEntryform2025.doc.
