Din l-Art Helwa has announced the launch of its 2010 Built and Natural Heritage Journalism Award Scheme for journalistic work that has made an outstanding and significant contribution to the better appreciation of the built and natural environment of the Maltese Islands within the last year. This year the Din l-Art Helwa award scheme for Built and Natural Heritage Journalism will also be accepting entries from television and radio as well as from on-line publications.
This scheme consists of two awards: the first will deal with written articles or tv or radio broadcasts regarding Malta and Gozo’s built environment including historic buildings, monuments, archaeological sites and the vernacular character of the towns and villages.
The second award will be for written articles or tv or radio broadcasts dealing with the natural heritage covering the appreciation of Malta’s natural environment and landscapes, including its open spaces, maritime heritage, flora and fauna and natural resources.
Journalistic entries for the Built Heritage Award may refer to a single building, a complex of buildings or a historic urban environment or townscape. Entries for the Natural Heritage Award may refer to any aspect of Malta’s natural environment and landscapes.
The Awards are open to all journalists working in the written or broadcasting media in Malta and Gozo. To be eligible for inclusion the work or series of works or productions must have been published or aired in Malta within the twelve months period up to 31st August 2010.
