Their individual entries on child rights, FGM/C, health in IDP camps and vulnerable children, were all programmes broadcast on IRIN's shortwave radio service for Somalia.
The names of the winners are not being publicly announced, however, because of the extremely difficult security circumstances currently facing Somali journalists operating in their own country.
IRIN Somali radio broadcasts have been on air since April 2008 providing humanitarian news and information in the Somali language via shortwave and FM, and online via a podcast and streaming.
The programming aims, in the absence of any Somali national public service broadcaster, to provide accurate, impartial, potentially life-saving news and information on relevant humanitarian issues to all Somalis. It works closely with IRIN's English language service which produces articles based on the reporting of the radio team.
