Call for Entries: 2013 RIAS Awards

April 30, 2013 3:19 PM

In addition to the bi-national exchange program between the United States and Germany, the RIAS Berlin Commission confers annual awards for radio, television, and online reporting.

The Awards commission seeks stories, pieces, reports, and newscasts that address an aspect of the relationship between our two nations. Reports can reference politics, economics, society, culture, or just current events.

The Awards ceremony is held each spring in Berlin. Award winners are notified in advance of their honor. Each award winner is invited to attend the award ceremony, and is provided flight and overnight accommodations in Berlin.
