IFEX – Kanad. Preis für mutige Journalisten, 2005

Hier alles Nähere. Ihr könnt mutige Journalisten für den Preis bis ENDE JULI 2005 vorschlagen.

Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) seeks nominations for the 2005 CJFE International Press Freedom Awards, which honour journalists who demonstrate courage in defending press freedom. Two winners are selected each year.

The winners of the award will be journalists who have overcome enormous odds to report on human rights and demonstrate a commitment to human rights by reporting without bias or discrimination.

Preference will be given to candidates who have not won a major press freedom award from another organization and who stand to benefit from international exposure due to the difficulties caused by their work.

The awards are also open to individual media outlets. To be eligible for an award, applicants must be nominated by an organisation or individual.

Self-nominations are not accepted. Each award consists of a framed plaque and cash prize of CDN$3,000. They will be presented to the winner at a ceremony in Toronto, Canada on 1 November 2005.

When making a nomination, please send a cover letter, biographical information on the nominee, samples of the nominee’s work and contact details.

Submissions must reach CJFE by 31 July 2005.
