The Concentra Award 2008 is now open for entries. This year we have expanded the award criteria and have added a second award. For the first time, we are accepting entries from around the world. Friends and colleagues from outside Europe can now compete for the world’s largest videojournalism prize of 10.000 euro. Secondly, the jury will now consider videojournalism from news websites, newspaper sites and IPTV news stations along with traditional news broadcasts. Thirdly, news piece entries can now be up to a maximum of ten minutes. On top of the above changes, we are also adding an additional award for breaking news. Stories which are shot, edited and broadcast in one day and last up to five minutes will be considered for The Breaking News Award. Breaking news pieces are now eligible for both The Concentra Award and have a chance of gaining extra acknowledgement for the fastest type of videojournalism with The Breaking News Award.

In the last weeks of 2007 the jury for the Concentra awards was finalized with the last two members confirmed for the 10-person team. Simon Bucks from Sky News, and Steve Taschini from the BBC complete the line-up of a very experienced and diverse group of news professionals from broadcast, print and online. While initial jury deliberations will be made individually, the group will meet to decide the final winners in Brussels at the beginning of March. The award will be presented on the evening of March 3rd at the Brussels Marriott as part of DNA2008.
