The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, Victoria’s peak body for children, young people, and their families, will again recognise journalists who have sought to elevate the voices of children and families in a respectful and material way in its annual Media Awards in 2024.
Often the voices of Victoria’s children, young people, and their families aren’t heard in the media. Despite growing public awareness of family and domestic violence, and the dangers of the online world, reports frequently dismiss the importance of engaging with the voice of lived experience.
Nominations are now open.
Nominations close at 5pm on Monday, 9 September 2024.
The Media Awards include four categories;
> Best story about children
> Best story about young people
> Best story about children or young people in out of home care
> Best story about families
Any stories or pieces about children, young people, families, or children and young people in out-of-home care published or broadcast during the last financial year ending June are eligible for entry in that year's awards.
The Centre will accept pieces across all media formats including print, TV, radio, digital and podcasts.
The awards are open to all Australian-based journalists from media outlets, including freelance journalists and self-published journalists.
