Through this award for journalists who are active and published worldwide, Valais Information wishes to bring the tourist facilities, economy and natural beauty of this alpine canton to the public’s attention. “Valais boasts majestic 13’000 feet peaks and many scenic attractions. More im-portantly though, it’s the inhabitants themselves who give our canton its unique face,” says Peter Furger, Director ad interim of Valais/Wallis Promotion. He believes that “Valais will never run out of stories“. Articles must be submitted in PDF format, TV, film or radio entries should be made on CD.
