Applications have been sought for this year’s Lorenzo Natali Media Prize which is launched under the motto ‘Today’s stories can change our tomorrow’ and coincides with the 2015 European Year for Development.
In December, the European Commission will once again award journalists for their outstanding reporting on development and poverty eradication.
The competition is open to professional journalists working for all different media types. New to the 2015 competition, amateur journalists, including bloggers, can also apply for the Prize.
A grand jury will reward one professional and one amateur journalist from each of the following regions: Africa, the Arab world and the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe.
The selected winners will receive trophies and cash prizes of €5000. Besides, the winners are qualified to win additional €5000 Grand Prize during an award ceremony in December 2015.
