BBC’s International Radio Playwriting Competition

Posted on November 30, 2013 by RedFoxx

Deadline: 31 January 2014
Open to: anyone over 18 years old living outside the UK
Prizes: £2,000 and a trip to London among others

Description

The International Radio Playwriting Competition is run by the BBC World Service and the British Council. Now in its 24th year, the competition has some additions. It is a competition for anyone resident outside Britain, to write a radio drama for up to six characters. This year’s competition in partnership with Commonwealth Writers again and to welcome their co-producers – The Open University. This has allowed to introduce another prize – the Georgi Markov prize for the most promising script.

Aside this new prize, there are two categories for entry. One is for entrants who speak English as a first language and the other is for entrants with English as a second language. The BBC may require proof of eligibility for the selected category before announcing a winner. The play must be written substantially or entirely in English. Entries that have been translated must acknowledge this fact by giving a credit to the translator or translators. Entries that have been translated will be entered in the English as a first language category.

Eligibility

Entry is only open to anyone who is over the age of 18 as at 31 January 2014 who is not normally a resident of the UK. This may include anyone living/working in the UK on a temporary basis (up to 12 months) at the time of entering the competition. Professional and previously published writers are eligible to enter, but this is not a requirement of entry.

Entrants must not be BBC, British Council or Commonwealth Foundation employees and their close relatives or any person connected to the competition. Proof of age, identity and eligibility may be requested.

Prizes

The prize for the winning entry in each category will consist of £2,000 sterling and a trip to London (airfare and accommodation for one person) to see the winning play being recorded for broadcast on the BBC World Service and attend a prize-giving event. The prize is as stated and cannot be deferred or transferred. There will be no cash alternatives.

In memory of the writer, BBC World Service journalist and broadcaster Georgi Markov (1929-1978) who championed freedom of creative expression, this is an additional prize in this year’s International Radio Playwriting Competition, for the writer of the script identified by the judges as showing most promise. The script will be selected from the International Radio Playwriting Competition shortlist and will be an entry which, whilst not deemed ready for broadcast in its current form, shows outstanding potential.

The prize includes a standard return flight to London, with two weeks accommodation – a week of which will be spent with the BBC’s London Radio Drama department and a week with BBC World Service. These two weeks will coincide with the making of the winning plays from the International Radio Playwriting Competition and the winner of the Georgi Markov prize will attend the prize-giving ceremony and receive recognition at the same time.

This prize does not include recording or broadcast of the script and there is no cash alternative. The prize has been established by the BBC World Service and its Writer in Residence and the Open University, in association with Annabel and Sasha Markova.

Once the two winning plays and the winner of the Georgi Markov award have been selected, the best plays from the remaining geographical locations will be selected and will receive a prize in the form of a certificate. Winners will be grouped according to their geographical location: Asia, Africa, Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, the Pacific and Middle East.

Application

Entries must be received at your British Council office or at the BBC in London by midnight GMT on 31 January 2014. Entries received after this time will not be considered.

Specialized Training for Media and Public Relations Professionals

Posted on November 27, 2013 by RedFoxx

Overview

UNICRI’s specialized training aims to provide media and public relations professionals, as well as students planning a career in public information, with a deeper understanding of new security threats to states and citizens. The focus of the training is on cyber threats and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) risks of a criminal, accidental or natural origin.

Today, information is one of our most powerful tools: it influences political decision-making and public opinion, establishing priorities and shaping the agenda of the international community. It reaches a wide-ranging audience instantly and provokes equally rapid reactions. This makes reporting and public information dissemination fundamental components in dealing with threats and complex security issues. Conversely, this can become a risk when dealing with sensitive matters of public concern where accurate coverage and reliability of sources are of utmost importance.

During and following cyber and CBRN emergencies, precise information is critical to generate appropriate levels of concern from governments and civil society. Public information professionals and journalists have to address priority issues that require a deep understanding and level of specialization to match the pressure and expectations of their daily work. Being objective, knowledgeable and responsible is crucial to reporting on security issues associated with new technological advances and globalization trends.

Two thematic areas will be addressed: the first investigates the consequences of an increasing dependence on digital infrastructure that fosters the risk of new cyber threats in a hyper-connected world. The second focuses on criminal use and accidents related to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material. Over the course of their training participants will become skilled in identifying, interpreting and communicating information regarding new hazards to states and citizens. They will acquire key tools to report facts and expand their professional network in a select, international environment.

Participants also have the option to select only one of the two thematic areas.

From the 3rd to the 14th February 2014 the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) will organize a specialized training focused on cyber and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats.

The lecturers are experienced international journalists, eminent scientists from nationally and internationally recognized academic and research institutions, as well as practitioners from international organizations dealing with CBRN risk mitigation and cyber crime.

This is a unique opportunity for media and public information professionals to deepen their knowledge of emerging security threats. Over the course of their training participants will become skilled in handling information related to new hazards to states and citizens. They will acquire key tools to report facts and expand their professional network in a select, international environment. Upon completion of the course UNICRI will grant a certificate of participation.

Organizer: The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI)

Who should attend: The training is intended for journalists, public relations professionals, corporate communication managers and students who want to specialize in public information.

When: 3-14 February 2014

Where: The Specialized Training is held on the United Nations Campus in Turin, Italy.

Attendance: Participants may either attend the full-length training program (including Cyber and CBRN threats) or choose to attend just one module (Module 1: Cyber Threats; Module 2: CBRN Threats).

Application deadline: 15 December 2013.

Research Training Workshop on Citizen Media

Posted on November 26, 2013 by RedFoxx

Research Training Workshop on Citizen Media in Eastern Europe, East Asia and the Arab World: Call for Papers

Workshop dates: 27th-28th January 2014

Location: University of Manchester

EXTENDED DEADLINE for Submission of Abstracts: 30 November 2013

The term ‘citizen media’, or ‘participatory media’, covers a wide range of activities undertaken by ordinary, non-professional citizens who lay a claim to an area of public life and politics and seek to transform it in some way. From videos circulated on YouTube to graffiti, street performance and other forms of street art, and from community radio to blogging, crowd sourcing, tweeting, flashmob protest and hacktivism, new forms of civic engagement continue to develop, expand and shape the relationship between the private and the public, the local and the global, mainstream and alternative media, corporations and clients, the state and civil society. The aim of the workshop is to bring together doctoral students and early career researchers who work on citizen media in Russia and Central and Eastern Europe, China and East Asia, and the Arab world – areas where citizen media has been at the centre of political contestations, censorship and everyday struggles. The workshop will focus on methodological challenges of researching citizen media, whether these are conceptual, practical, ethical or political.

We welcome proposals for 15-minute presentations which discuss any topic relating to the methodologies of researching citizen media in any of these regions. Papers should reflect the current research of postgraduates or early career researchers. The workshop will also include a guided training session on methods, and several presentations by expert scholars (detailed below). To apply, please send a title and a 300-word abstract to gabrielle.hendry@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk by the 30th of November 2013.

The event is free of charge and open to doctoral students and early career researchers. Limited funds are available to cover travel and accommodation expenses. To apply for funding assistance, please indicate so on your submission, and outline the estimated cost of your travel. Successful candidates will be notified in December.
