The Stop TB Partnership and the Lilly MDR-TB Partnership have launched an award to recognize, foster and award outstanding reporting in print that materially increases the public's knowledge and understanding of tuberculosis (TB), including multidrug-resistant TB, in countries affected by the disease.

Eligibility

The article selected for recognition must have been published between 1 March 2007 and 31 March 2008 in a general circulation newspaper, magazine or web news vehicle located in a low- or middle-income country*. Articles may be co-authored. The author(s) must be a resident of the country in which the article was published. A jury of experts will make selections.

Awards

There will be first, second and third place awards. First place: $3000 and a certificate. Second place: $2000 and a certificate. Third place: $1000 and a certificate. Reasonable travel expenses to the event at which the award will be presented will be reimbursed for the first place winner. Stop TB Partnership will administer all aspects of the award.

The deadline entries for the 2008 award is 30 April 2008.
