Journalists around the world can enter a competition for sensitive, accurate reporting on urinary incontinence. Submission deadline: June 1.

The Embrace Award is open to journalists who cover consumer or medical affairs for print, online or broadcast media. The idea is to encourage responsible reporting on urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary, often temporary release of urine. The World Health Organization says the condition is a "widespread global disease and one of the last medical taboos."

There are three categories: consumer media, medical media and broadcast report. The winner of each category receives a three-day trip for two to a different city. The winner of the consumer award visits Washington, D.C., the medical media winner goes to Paris, and the broadcast winner travels to Oxford, U.K.
