European Parliament: Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism

The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism (hereinafter, the Prize) was launched on 16 October 2020 as a tribute to the Maltese anti-corruption investigative journalist and blogger who was assassinated in a car bomb attack in 2017.

The Prize, with the support of the European Parliament, will be awarded annually to in-depth journalism pieces undertaken by EU-based professional journalists.

The Prize aims to recognise outstanding in-depth journalism work on topics that are relevant for the European Union (EU) as a whole or some of its Member States, and contribute to the promotion of principles and values of the EU, as enshrined in the European Charter of Human Rights.

The Prize is open to individual professional journalists or teams of professional journalists of any nationality. Applications may be submitted by authors themselves or by professional media organisations and associations on their behalf.

Entries must have been published/broadcast in print, audiovisual or online media outlets based in one of the 27 EU Member States between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021.

There will be one single prize of €20,000 awarded annually.

Applications must be submitted by 1 September 2021, 12 PM (CET).

The winner will be announced at the Award Ceremony to be held in the European Parliament in Brussels on Thursday, 14 October 2021.
