Applications for the Lorenzo Natali Media Prize 2020 are open until 22 March.

The Lorenzo Natali Media Prize recognises and celebrates excellence in reporting on sustainable development issues. The prize also gives a voice to those whose vital message is often overlooked or ignored. It was created by DG DEVCO, and named after Lorenzo Natali, a precursor of European development policy.

The overarching theme of the Prize is sustainable development. Entries to this year’s competition should relate to sustainable development issues such as, but not limited to, fighting poverty and inequalities, human rights, democracy, youth, gender equality, environment and climate change, health, and technology and digital.

The Prize is open to journalists in the following three categories:

1. Grand Prize: reporting published by a media based in one of the European Union’s partner countries on development and cooperation.

2. Europe Prize: reporting published by a media based in the European Union.

3. Best Emerging Journalist Prize: open to journalists under 30 whose reporting was published by a media based in the European Union or in one of its partner countries on development and cooperation.

There will be up to three winners. Each winner will receive 10,000€. The winner of the Best Emerging Journalist category will also be offered a work experience opportunity with a media partner.

The winners will be invited to participate in the Award Ceremony to be held in Brussels on 9-10 June 2020.
