Deadline: 13 June 2024
The European Union invites journalists from Western Balkans and Türkiye to submit their investigative stories to advance freedom of expression, uphold the rule of law, and shed light on diverse issues affecting national and regional dynamics.
These may include organised crime, corruption, extremism, foreign influence, human rights violations (including in the digital realm), and other issues crucial for public awareness.
In addition to the national awards, the organisers will choose the best regional investigative stories for the second year in a row. The regional award aims to inspire the exploration of issues transcending national boundaries and address challenges impacting the entire region. Entries nominated for the regional award must be translated into English.
Award Information

Eligibility Criteria
- Journalists from Western Balkans and Türkiye are encouraged to submit their investigative stories.
- Participants can nominate entries for either the national, regional award, or both, with the flexibility to submit a maximum of three applications to the competition.
