To participate, journalists must pick a theme from the UNRISD’s 2022 Flagship Report and make a clear reference to it when writing their stories.

The top three entries will receive prizes of US$1,000, US$750 and US$500, respectively. A reporter under the age of 30 will receive a special prize of US$500.

The deadline is Dec. 4.
