THE KURT SCHORK AWARDS IN INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM

Application Deadline: midnight (GMT) on Friday, May 31, 2024.

LOCATION: USA

The Kurt Schork Memorial Fund (KSMF) invites freelance journalists, local reporters and news fixers from around the world to submit entries for the 23rd annual Kurt Schork Awards in International Journalism. The Awards recognise excellence and courage in reporting conflict, corruption, injustice and human rights issues.

ELIGIBILITY:

The three award categories, open to those reporting for print and online publications, recognise the media professionals that Kurt particularly admired:

Freelance Award: recognising freelance journalists who travel to the world’s conflict zones, usually at great personal risk, to witness and report on the impact and consequences of these events.

Local Reporter Award: recognising the often-overlooked work of journalists in developing nations, or countries in transition, who write about events in their homeland.

News Fixer Award: recognising the work of local journalists or experts, typically hired by foreign correspondents, whose guidance and local knowledge play an unsung but vital role in facilitating international coverage from difficult, dangerous or hostile locations.

Entrants for the Local Reporter and Freelance Awards must submit three articles each, published between June 01, 2023 and May 31, 2024. The judges will look for journalistic excellence in applicants’ submissions and evidence of determination and courage in obtaining their stories.

Winners will be receiving a $5,000 cash prize.
