Members of the Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) have eight days left to get their entries in for the ABU prizes 2015.

Last date for receiving entries for the international competition for radio and TV programmes  is June 5.

The ABU Prizes aims to promote the excellence in radio and TV production in order to raise educational and cultural standards and to strengthen international understanding among the people of the ABU member countries and regions.

The categories for radio include Drama, Documentary, News Reporting, Community Service Announcement (CSA), Interactive Programme and On-Air Personality.

A ‘Special Jury Prize’ will be awarded from all the entries received to an entry each from radio and TV, in order to recognise the work of producers whose entries are creative and innovative despite limited resources.

All ABU members are eligible to enter the competition and all entries (except TV sport) must be broadcasted for the first time between June 1, 2014 and June 1, 2015.
