Free Press Unlimited, a nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands, is seeking nominations for the free press awards for journalists who have shown a strong commitment to press freedom and independent information.

The awards aim to honour journalists who risk everything to bring the news to the public; media pioneers who pave the way for equality and justice and those who persevere under the most difficult circumstances.

The Awards will recognise exceptional work in the categories of Newcomer of the Year and Most Resilient Journalist.

Nominations for the awards will be judged by an independent panel of international experts. The winner in the category ‘Newcomer of the Year’ will receive a media scholarship by choice. The winner in the category ‘Most Resilient Journalist’ will receive a cash prize of €15,000. Read more about the categories

Nominations for the two categories close on August 1, 2020 and must be done online at https://www.freepressunlimited.org/en/nomination-form-most-resilient-journalist for nomination for the most resilient journalist and https://www.freepressunlimited.org/en/nomination-form-newcomer-of-the-year for the new comer of the year award.
