Daily newspapers worldwide are being invited to submit entries for having produced compelling content that has had an impact on the lives of excluded, marginalised and disadvantaged groups in society. The prize is US$11k, and the closing date is 15 March.

The Rajasthan Patrika Group announces the third KC Kulish International Award for Excellence in Print Journalism.

This annual award, in memory of Sh Karpoor Chand Kulish, the founder of the group, recognises outstanding efforts by teams of journalists working in daily newspapers globally to promote rights and freedom for a better quality of life.

The award theme for the past year's publication entries is "Inclusive Development". Entries related to the theme are invited from daily newspapers around the world.

The group seeks to honour journalists who have contributed the most compelling stories in print that impact the lives and meet the aspirations of marginalised groups of a community.

The winning team is awarded a cash prize of US$11k and a medal and certificate to each team member.

The trophy and prize money is awarded to the institution or team leader (in the case of an independent team) on behalf of the team.

Ten entries also receive special awards of merit and are given certificates and medals.

There is no entry fee for the award. The entries should be based on published stories in daily newspapers between January 1 2009 and December 31 2009.
