The ADAMI Media Prize for Cultural Diversity in Eastern Europe 2016

Publish Date: Jul 01, 2016

Deadline: Oct 10, 2016

About ADAMI

The ADAMI Media Prize was created to encourage audio-visual journalists and media professionals in the EU Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine) to cover the themes of migration, integration, and cultural diversity.

ADAMI promotes their work by recognizing and rewarding exemplary programmes that focus on these themes and which bring them to the public through TV, online, and other medium.

We believe that mass media plays a significant role in shaping public opinion and attitudes, and that by showcasing diversity in society, they contribute towards peaceful coexistence between groups.

Through this prize, we want to increase media interest in promoting cultural diversity, to build a network of broadcasters, TV programme managers, and filmmakers in Eastern Europe who are working towards this goal, and to create a platform connecting them with their counterparts in the EU.

The word ADAMI comes from the Georgian word adamiani, for human being, based on the first human, the Biblical Adam. And ADAMI is about people. Behind all TV programmes and media productions are people; they disseminate images of people, made for people - images that shape Europe's future.

Contest

We are looking for all videos materials that showcase the ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity of the region. ADAMI will award six prizes in six categories: Non-Fiction & Documentaries; Fiction & Entertainment; News & Short non-fiction; Young ADAMI; Websites; Online Videos.

The competition is a great opportunity for exposure and networking with ADAMI’s partners, which include the European Broadcasting Union and Deutsche Welle Akademie. The ADAMI prizes are endowed with cash rewards. Nominees are invited to the ADAMI gala award ceremony in Kiev, Ukraine.
