One World Media, with support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, has launched the Coronavirus Reporting Award 2020 to recognize journalists and filmmakers covering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in developing countries.
The contest is open to works that have been broadcast, screened or published in the United Kingdom; or works that have been broadcast or published internationally and are available for an English-speaking audience; or works that have been screened at an international film festival.
The award is meant to be used to champion stories that show the world what is happening beyond our borders and spotlight international perspectives on the pandemic. Also, One World Media is looking for stories that show the potential solutions, the urgent needs and the surprising implications of COVID-19 around the world.
The Award will be for a piece of media in any format, including print, film, audio, or digital media.
All entries should focus on stories, topics or issues in, about or related to the developing world, including Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia or the Post-Soviet States
