The winning entry for the Africa International Media Summit (AIMS) Achievers Award is "Give Peace a Chance" an audio production by Kim Philander and Dillion Roberts of Bush Radio, South Africa. "Give Peace a Chance" was elected as the winning entry due to its unique ability to portray an otherwise negative stereotype of Africa - armed conflict in adition to inspiring action to put an end to conflict in Africa. The entry was representative of African youth voices particularly those affected by conflict across the continent. The message was clear and concise yet creative and original while utilizing the most comprehensive way to reach all youth across Africa - radio.
