Jan 22, 2015 | AMIC Communication Awards
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the AMIC Asia Communication Award 2015.
Since 2006, the prestigious annual ceremony has recognized outstanding achievements in various media and communication fields and categories. This year, another individual will be honored for making an impact on Asian media and communication through his or her work. The nominees’ contributions can be focused on a single country within Asia, a region within Asia, or the whole of Asia. While the nominee need not be from Asia, preference is accorded to regional actors.
Award categories are as follows:
Research—pioneering contributions to the body of knowledge on media and communication research, such as the launching and completion of major research projects or the development of enduring theoretical approaches in the discipline.
Education—legacy in nurturing successive generations of media, communication, or journalism students and scholars.
Institution building—establishment of key communication and media programs, research centres or academic publications.
Excellence in journalism—sustained involvement in public service and observance of the highest journalistic principles.
Others—from time to time the Board may present the AMIC Asia Communication Award to a media practitioner for outstanding commitment to and excellence in their field of endeavor.
Nominations will be accepted from any AMIC member in good standing. The closing date is on 30 March 2015. The award will be presented at the 24th AMIC international conference in Dubai, UAE (10th to 13th June 2015).

The Mohammed bin Rashid School for Communication (MBRSC) is pleased to have been selected to host this prestigious conference.
The call for papers has already been launched, and we request for you to help us distribute this notice far and wide. The official conference website, along with the compendium social media, will allow us to communicate with each other over the next several months. This website will serve to provide pertinent information concerning the conference and the city of Dubai. We also hope to be able to answer any questions you may have via interaction on the social media sites.
The success of the conference depends chiefly on the quality of participation and the dynamics of the discussions that our forums elicit. We hope that you will be able to join us for this unique opportunity to strengthen our understanding of “e-society” in Asia. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to meet and share our understandings.
On behalf of the local organizing committee, I once again extend an invitation for you to join us in June 2015. We look forward to welcoming you to “The Centre of Now” – our beautiful city of Dubai.
