Journalists from Sub-Saharan Africa, the Gulf states and Pakistan can enter a health journalism contest offering a US study tour

Journalists have a chance to win a trip to the United States and cash prizes as part of three regional competitions to recognize the best media coverage of immunizations.

Stories published or broadcast in Sub-Saharan Africa, Pakistan and the Gulf states between March 15 and May 15, 2013, which includes World Immunization Week (April 24-30), will qualify for the regional contests. The deadline for submitting stories is May 20, 2013.

Each top winner will receive a cash prize and a two-week study tour to the United States.

Entries must relate to diseases that are preventable or treatable with vaccines, such as polio, measles and pneumonia. Possible topics include the discovery of new vaccines, testing of vaccines, public attitudes toward vaccination, innovative approaches to delivery of vaccines, or the efficacy or failure of vaccination campaigns.

The program is administered by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) in Washington, in partnership with the African Health Journalists Association and the Arab Media Forum.
