Outstanding media projects or organizations in the developing world are invited to nominate themselves for the Special Award for Development Media 2009, part of the One World Media Awards 2009. The deadline for entries is February 27.

An award will go to a local radio or TV initiative (including a specific program or channel, or a network of stations), print media or a new media initiative working on the ground in the developing world addressing social or developmental issues. Local media advocacy initiatives are also eligible.

The winner will be flown to London to receive a trophy at the Awards ceremony on June 22, with all expenses paid.

To enter, the following must be submitted:

Description of the project (1000-1500 words) highlighting how it fits the eligibility criteria above — including an explaination of what makes it unique and remarkable.
Full contact details (including name of Director and Web site, if available).
Name of representative who would collect the Award in London.
Letters from two independent references who have worked with the organization and know the organization well, but do not work for the organization.
There is no entry fee.
