Professional journalists and teams of professional journalists of any nationality can compete for prize money.
The European Parliament is accepting entries for the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism. The prize rewards outstanding journalism that promotes or defends the core principles and values of the European Union such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law and human rights.
The prize is named in honor of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese journalist who was murdered in a car bomb explosion on Oct. 16, 2017.
Interested journalists must submit in-depth pieces that have been published or broadcast by media based in one of the 27 European Union member states. Only entries published or broadcast between Sept. 1, 2023 and July 31, 2024 are submissible.
The winner will receive EUR20,000 (US$21,494) at an awards ceremony in mid-October, coinciding with the anniversary of the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
The deadline is July 31.
