Journalists can compete across five categories: Distinguished Reporting, Innovation, Investigative Reporting, Migration Journalism, and Public Discourse. The Special Award recognizes exceptional work that transcends categories. Prize winners will receive a €10,000 award.
Articles should not exceed 5,000 words, and shortlisted entries will be translated into English for broader accessibility. Only one submission per person is allowed for most categories, while up to three pieces may be submitted for the Public Discourse category.
