Six regional winners are nomined for the International Children’s Day of Broadcasting (ICDB) Award, presented yearly by the UNICEF and the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
“We couldn’t be more proud of these broadcasters who have taken up UNICEF’s call to get youth involved in programming and production,” says Stephen Cassidy, Chief of UNICEF’s Internet, Broadcast and Image Section.
The winner of the 2006 ICDB Award will be announced at the Academy’s 34th International Emmy Awards Gala on November 20, 2006, at the Hilton New York Hotel. A special ceremony will take place at the UNICEF House, as well.
Judging for the regional prizes took place between May and July. The 2005 ICDB theme focused on Sports for Development and Peace.
The ICDB Regional Prizes went to ATN Bangla (Elegy for Dipu); RCN Television (Bichos Bichez); Gambia Television and Radio Services (ICDB: Children in Charge - Every Child Has the Right to Play); Teleradio Moldova (Let’s Play), TVE (Los Lunnis), and Syrian Broadcast TV (Let’s Play).
The ICDB was launched in 1991 to encourage broadcasters worldwide to create awareness for children’s issues. Each December, these youth write, report, produce and present programs that allow them to express their thoughts on the issues that affect them.

In 1994, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and UNICEF established the International Children’s Day of Broadcasting Award to honor the broadcaster who best embraces the spirit of the ICDB.
The next ICDB will take place on 10 December 2006 with the theme of HIV/AIDS.
