Award focuses on young journalists [Worldwide]

Journalists ages 30 and younger working in developing countries can compete for this award.

The Thomson Foundation is organizing the 2021 Young Journalist Award, in partnership with the Foreign Press Association (FPA).

In previous years, three finalists were flown to London for the gala award night. If traveling is restricted by late November, finalists will be honored in other ways.

Journalists working in countries with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of less than US$20,000 are eligible.

Entrants should submit a portfolio of three published pieces of work (print, audio, video, multimedia or a combination of all four) produced in the 12 months preceding Sept. 10. At least one of the three pieces submitted must have an environmental focus. Entries can be in any language but should be accompanied by a verbatim English-language translation.

The deadline is Sept. 10.
