Journalists and news outlets worldwide are eligible for press freedom awards.
The International Press Institute (IPI) and International Media Support (IMS) are seeking nominations for the World Press Freedom Hero Award and the Free Media Pioneer Award.
The World Press Freedom Hero Award honors journalists who have made significant contributions to the promotion of press freedom, particularly in the face of great personal risk.
The Free Media Pioneer Award recognizes news or media organizations that have made innovations that have promoted news access or quality, or benefited journalists and the media community, thereby ensuring freer and more independent media in their country or region.
Both awards will be presented during a special ceremony at IPI’s 2024 World Congress in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The deadline to submit nominations is March 5.
