A South African TB media award Speak Up to Stop TB for excellence in print journalism when reporting on TB and related issues, has been established for the first time by the Lilly MDR-TB Partnership in South Africa, in association with the South African Red Cross and with support from the National TB Control Programme.

The competition, which closes on 26 February 2010, covers work published between 1 January 2009 and 26 February 2010 in general circulation newspapers, magazines or online. Journalists must be residents of South Africa and are permitted to submit more than one article.
