The Tempus International Awards for Lung Cancer Journalism

The Global Lung Cancer Coalition (GLCC) is Excited to Launch the
Tempus Journalism Awards, a Global Initiative to Recognize Excellence
in Lung Cancer Reporting

LONDON, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Lung cancer is the leading cause of
cancer-related death in both men and women and every year more than
1.2 million new cases of lung and bronchial cancer are diagnosed
worldwide. Sufferers of lung cancer are often stigmatized for their
disease, which is seen as a 'smoker's' disease. Through the Tempus
Journalism Award, we aim to raise the profile of lung cancer in the
media, increase worldwide disease awareness and help remove the
stigma associated with the disease.

The core award categories are:

- Best Medical Article
- Best Consumer Article
- Best Broadcast Piece

The winner of each award category will receive a EUR7000 research
grant to further reporting of the disease, as well as receiving the
chance to speak during Lung Cancer Awareness Month during November
and/or at an international lung cancer congress.
The awards are open to all global media and entries are invited on
all issues relating to lung cancer. The entry must have been published
or broadcast between 1 September 2005 and 1 September 2006. All
entries will be judged by an independent international panel
comprising; the Global Lung Cancer Coalition, leading editors and a
lung cancer specialist. The winners will be announced during Lung
Cancer Awareness Month, November 2006.
