NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR 2003 COMMONWEALTH 
BROADCASTING AWARDS 
------------------------------------------ 
The Commonwealth Broadcasting Association is now accepting 
applications for its 2003 Awards, which honor exceptional news 
features, outstanding local children's programming, cost-effective 
engineering, and contributions to public service broadcasting in 
Commonwealth countries. 
The 2003 Awards will be presented at the annual CBA 
Conference this October in Abuja, Nigeria. 
The CBA Award for Exceptional News Features, sponsored by 
Rolls-Royce, is granted to a journalist or media organization for a 
piece, no more than 10 minutes in length, which pushes the 
boundaries of media freedom. The feature can be on any topic, 
but should contain exclusive or investigative material gathered in 
difficult circumstances. 
CBA also grants an award for Outstanding Local Children's 
Programming to encourage high quality, innovative, local 
programming for children in the Commonwealth. The award, 
which is sponsored by UNICEF, honors programs for children 
that deal with issues such as HIV/AIDS, the education of girls, 
immunization, and child protection. 
The Award for Cost-effective Engineering, sponsored by the 
International Broadcasting Convention (IBC), is given to a team 
or individual for reducing production costs or increasing 
effectiveness through a particular technique. IBC also provides 
bursaries for some award entrants from developing countries to 
visit its annual convention in Amsterdam. 
Senior executives in CBA member organizations can also 
nominate someone who has made an exceptional contribution to 
public service broadcasting for the Elizabeth R Award. The 
award is given to someone who has made a major impact on the 
quality of broadcasting in a particular area either as a 
campaigner, performer, manager or inventor. 
Nominations and entry forms, available from the CBA at 
http://www.cba.org.uk/awardscba.htm, should be sent by June 1, 
2003, to the CBA Secretary-General at 17 Fleet Street, London,
