2013 Telkom-Highway New Media Awards open

The 13^th Telkom-Highway Africa New Media Awards is now accepting entries, says the Conference Manager at Highway Africa, Ms Karabo Tledima.

She also told DigitalSENSE Business News that these awards seek to recognise individual journalists, bloggers and media houses who innovatively use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in their reportage.

The awards, she said, also seek to acknowledge corporate and not-for-profit organisations who might not be media operators, but whose operations use ICTs to better communities within which they operate.

The conference manager added that the awards are pan-African and media houses around the continent could apply.

“Organisations outside the African continent can apply only if the communities within which their ICT services are used in Africa,” she said.

Further, she urged potential participants to download the Call-out for awards which are available in English and French  with categories and awards information at http://www.highwayafrica.com/?page_id=8

She also noted that registration for the conference which opened on June 14, 2013 would close July 31 this year.

She pointed out that the 17th Highway Africa conference will hold on September 1 and 2, 2013 at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
