Reminder: 2017 Barbara Jordan Media Awards Call for Nominations<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a reminder for the 2017 Barbara Jordan Media Awards Call for Nominations<\/p>\n

Texas Governor\u2019s Committee on People with Disabilities hosts the Annual Barbara Jordan Media Awards; this call for nominations is for media content created or published in 2016. Awards are presented in several different categories, including Broadcast, Internet, Photojournalism, Print, Book, and College or High School Student. There is NO FEE for entries. Winners are selected by a panel of professional journalists, people with disabilities, and professionals in the field of disabilities. (http:\/\/www.gov.texas.gov\/disabilities\/awards\/barbara_jordan_media_awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The deadline for submissions is February 17, 2017<\/strong> for stories produced, published and\/or distributed in Texas in 2016.<\/p>\n

The Barbara Jordan Media Awards seek to spotlight journalists who portray people with disabilities in a respectful, positive manner. It is our belief that journalists help shape our culture and our perceptions; well-produced, creative stories showing a person with a disability as a person first benefits us all.<\/p>\n

Director\u2019s Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

A unique opportunity for Texas college students is to submit a nomination for the Director\u2019s Challenge which seeks short videos or public service announcements (30-60 seconds) that promote accessible parking availability and discourage illegal parking in accessible parking spaces. An exception is allowed for the Director\u2019s Challenge – the video or PSA may be created or published in Texas any time between January 2017 and the February 17 deadline.<\/p>\n

University of North Texas Division of Equity & Diversity is offering a $500 scholarship to the winner of the Director\u2019s Challenge for a student attending any Texas college. More information on the Committee\u2019s work on accessible parking is available on the Committee\u2019s website in the report entitled A Review of Accessible Parking for Persons with Disabilities. (http:\/\/www.gov.texas.gov\/disabilities<\/a>)<\/p>\n
