The award will be given to an outstanding individual living and working in Africa, who.combines strong journalism skills and an
exceptional talent in telling African stories, with the ambition and potential to become a star of the future. Through the award, we will invest in the future of African journalism by offering the winner the chance to come to the BBC and share Africa's stories with the world.
The winner will be given an opportunity to gain recognition and experience, working with teams
across BBC News during a three month placement in London. The winner will also have the chance to broadcast on TV, radio and online
to the BBC's audiences of 265 million across the world.
