The Diamond Awards for Media Excellence (DAME) is an annual initiative recognizing exceptional contributions from the mass media industry. By fostering a spirit of healthy competition, DAME has played a pivotal role in advancing media standards across Nigeria. The Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) recognizes the critical role the media plays in telling the stories, shaping perceptions, and promoting development, particularly in the Niger Delta region.
In recognition of this, PIND has established the PIND Prize for Niger Delta Development Reporting as part of the DAME Awards. This award seeks to honor journalists and media professionals who bring attention to the region’s development challenges and achievements through insightful and solution-oriented reporting.
Journalists are invited to apply for this particular category, which aims to elevate the narrative around the Niger Delta, moving beyond challenges to showcase the region’s potential and growth.
To be eligible for the award, PIND is offering a dedicated workshop during this year’s DAME Awards. This session will provide journalists with insights and tools to effectively report on development stories, ensuring their work meets the criteria for the PIND Prize.
