Entries in the Commentary categories (Editorial Writing and Informed Commentary) will be judged on the basis of the Essential Sextets: Subject, Substance, Significance, Structure, Style, and Size while emphasis will be placed on effective use of Art and Copy in Editorial cartooning.

Aesthetics will focus on how Art illuminates editorial presentations, whilst the overall prizes reward the performances of the news organisations in all categories considered. The entries close on September 20, 2023.

Cash prizes, work tools such as laptops, plaques, and merit certificates are some of the reward incentives winners will receive in December.

DAME operates on the premise that the media remain an important pillar of Democracy and Development, which require special attention and support if they are to fulfill their role. (BookArtville)
