The International Sports Press Association, Africa Section, is proud to announce the launch of the “AIPS Africa PRIZE”. This initiative, supported by Africa Global Logistics (AGL), marks a major step in the recognition of excellence within African journalism.

Focused on the economic, social and societal impact in sport, and more particularly football, this competition is open to articles ( written press, radio, television and web) in French, English, Arabic and Portuguese, until January 15 2024 and will be submitted to a jury composed of eminent journalists who have left an indelible mark on this noble profession on the African continent.  

The winners of the various “AIPS Africa PRIZES” will receive in addition to a trophy, a sum of 1,000,000 CFA francs (1,500 euros) during a cocktail ceremony scheduled for January 25, 2024 in Abidjan. AIPS/Africa will at the same time honor legends of journalism for “services rendered to sport” .

Furthermore, it is important to note that the awards go well beyond the simple recognition of journalistic talent; they celebrate sport as a powerful driver of social inclusion and cohesion within communities. This successful partnership between AIPS Africa and AGL symbolizes our shared commitment to enriching the African media landscape and promoting transformative narratives.

We look forward to discovering the inspiring works of talented African journalists, and to celebrating together the stories that give shape and life to our continent. Please send your articles to the following address: bestofafrique@gmail.com
