The deadline was also extended to 31 December 2015. The awards, the first in Jordan are organized in partnership with UNICEF and the European Union.<br />

The competition, under “Learning for all” theme, hopes to encourage more in depth, informed and engaging stories about education in Jordan. The judging panel will be looking for ‘character-led’ stories that include the voices of children and those directly affected. The judges also encourage story submissions that reflect individual initiatives that promote learning for all, as well as inclusive education.<br />

The awards are open for print and online written media. The submitted stories should be 700-1,000 words long and had been published between 2014 and 2015 or new articles for publication. The entries, which can be in Arabic or English, should be emailed to <a href="mailto:childrightsmediajo@gmail.com">childrightsmediajo@gmail.com</a> and must be submitted with a short biography of the journalist.
