In a move to encourage more youth participation throughout the year, UNICEF is considering not only the great work done for the ICDB but also the commitment broadcasters make to fostering youth and media on an ongoing basis.

To be eligible for the ICDB Award, the broadcast must have taken place on or around Sunday, 9 December 2007 in conjunction with the 2007 International Children’s Day of Broadcasting. The deadline for entries extended to 2 June 2008.

Programmes will be judged regionally. Broadcasters that have programs to enter for competition can submit them to the UNICEF Regional office that covers their country.

The International Children's Day of Broadcasting Awards honour programming that allows youth the opportunity to speak up and be heard. Programmes should be for young people and created with some aspect of youth participation. All television and radio stations that participated in the International Children's Day of Broadcasting can compete for these Awards.

The 2007 Awards went to National Broadcasting of Thailand (NBT), ONUCI FM and Radio Mozambique. NBT won for their program “From South to North, From East to West, Thailand ICDB-Unite for Children, Unite Against Aids, ” produced by Thai Youth News Center Association. NBT was one of 6 regional ICDB prize winners, in addition to TV Cultura (Brazil), Gambia Radio and Television Services (Gambia), ZDF (Germany), Citizen TV (Kenya) and Syrian Satellite TV (Syria).
