AAAS KAVLI SCIENCE JOURNALISM AWARDS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: August 1, 2024. 

LOCATION: USA

Since their inception in 1945, the AAAS Science Journalism Awards have honored professional journalists for distinguished reporting on the sciences, engineering, and mathematics. In recognition of a generous endowment by The Kavli Foundation, the awards now are called the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards, and the contest is open to journalists worldwide.

ELIGIBILITY:

The awards are open to reporters doing work for independent news organizations around the world. Articles must be readily accessible to the public by subscription, newsstand sales or online access. If the submitted work was published or broadcast in a language other than English, you must provide an English translation. See online FAQ for further discussion.

You cannot enter the same story or stories in two different categories, nor may you enter a story both as an individual entry and as part of a group of stories.

At their discretion, judges and AAAS staff may move entries between categories.

Access to entries: If an outlet has a paywall or limited access (such as no more than five free stories per month), the entrant MUST provide password access for the story links or, preferably, readable PDFs of the content. Failure to provide accessible content will result in disqualification.

Entry limit: Entrants may submit up to THREE entries in all (across one or more categories).

The following are not eligible for the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards:

Items published originally in AAAS publications or produced by AAAS.

Items by employees of AAAS (including those on the masthead of Science magazine) or The Kavli Foundation. 

Winners of the 2023 awards are not eligible. Individuals who have won three times are no longer eligible.

BENEFIT:

Two awards will be given in each of the Categories, a Gold Award worth $5,000 and a Silver Award worth $3,500. (One winner for each award also may receive reasonable travel, airport transfer, hotel, and per diem meal expenses to attend an awards ceremony in February 2025 if such ceremony is held on-site rather than virtually.)
