Female documentary makers from around the world can submit works about women who are making a difference, in their own lives or on the lives of other women, to a contest. Deadline: October 16.

The International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) is sponsoring the awards, which IAWRT President Olya Booyar said will set the scene for the 15th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action on equality and opportunity for women.

Entries must be between 20 and 90 minutes long for television, or 15 to 60 minutes for radio, and have been broadcast during the period November 2007 to October 2009.
