CSSANZ offers an annual Media Prize for the best media segment (published article, television or radio commentary, or multimedia format) judged by the Media and Public Relations Committee of the CSSANZ to provide the best information to patients. The award aims to recognise the important role the media can play in raising public awareness of the spectrum of colorectal disease, and the impact these conditions can have on patients.
The Prize consists of a commemorative plaque and a cash award (initially $1000) from the CSSANZ. To be considered for the award, notification must be made to the CSSANZ Secretariat, Ms Liz Neilson (secretariat@cssanz.org) with evidence of the published articles; no specific application form is required. For more information, press here.
The 2011 Media Award Winner was announced at the Sydney Colorectal Surgical Meeting on 19 November 2011.
