Journalists from across the African continent
are invited to apply for the award, which aims to uncover and promote fresh
talent from Africa.
The winner will spend three months at
the BBC headquarters in London, gaining skills and experience.
Applications close on 23 March 2018 at 23:59 GMT.
The award was established to honour
Komla Dumor, an exceptional Ghanaian broadcaster and presenter for BBC World
News, whose sudden demise happened in 2014.
This year's award is being launched from
Accra, Ghana.
The award winner must be an outstanding
individual living and working in Africa, who combines strong journalism skills,
on-air flair, and an exceptional talent in telling African stories with the
ambition and potential to become a star of the future.
As well as spending time with the BBC in
London, the winner will also get to travel to Africa to report a story - and
have that story shared across the continent and the world.
Previous award winners alongside Jamie
Angus, director of the BBC World Service Group will be present at the 2018
award launch in Accra.
