It’s free to enter and open to all newsrooms, as well as individuals, around the world.

The Sigma Awards platform lets you enter in either of these 8 languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese.

You can submit as many entries as you want, as single entries or as a portfolio.
