Deadline: 20 October 2023

Applications are now open for the Liz Hughes Award for Her Farm Radio 2024 . The Liz Hughes Award for Her Farm Radio recognises outstanding radio programmes that cater for women listeners. The winning radio programmes explore and promote gender equality - for example, by sharing women's experiences and opinions, addressing issues that are important to women or highlighting the role of men in gender equality.

The award is given to the broadcaster's team that makes the programme happen, including the manager(s), producer(s), presenter(s), newscaster(s), reporter(s), technician(s), among others. Winning programmes can deal with any subject! In other words, the programme doesn't have to focus exclusively on gender equality issues. For example, you can apply for a programme on health, education, agriculture or a combination of topics. The important thing is that your programme, no matter the topic, caters to women!
