The BBC has today launched the BBC World News Komla Dumor Award in 
honour of presenter Komla Dumor, who passed away a year ago, aged 41.<br />
<br />
Komla was an exceptional Ghanaian broadcaster who in his short life made
 an extraordinary impact – in Ghana, in Africa and across the world – on
 Joy FM and at the BBC.<br />
<br />
Through his tenacious journalism and compelling 
storytelling, he worked tirelessly to bring a more sophisticated African
 narrative to the world. The BBC is committed to continuing Komla’s 
legacy.<br />
<br />
The BBC World News Komla Dumor Award is now open for applications and
 will be given to an outstanding individual living and working in 
Africa, who combines strong journalism skills and an exceptional talent 
in telling African stories, with the ambition and potential to become a 
star of the future.<br />
<br />

The winner will be awarded the opportunity to gain skills and 
experience, working with teams across BBC News during a three month 
placement in London. They will have the chance to broadcast on TV, Radio
 and Online to the BBC’s audiences of 265 million across the world.<br />
<br />

Solomon Mugera, BBC Africa Editor said:  “Komla epitomised a new 
Africa; youthful, dynamic and enterprising. With his infectious 
enthusiasm, beaming smile and engaging personality he made the stories 
of a new Africa, good and bad, difficult to ignore. The BBC is committed
 to continuing Komla’s dedication to this continent with this award. We 
are searching for a rising star who displays exceptional talent, someone
 who embodies the spirit of Komla.”<br />
