Deadline: 19 February 2025
Nominations are now open for the Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award to support the work of a promising early-career nonfiction writer on a story that uncovers truths about the human condition.
Matthew Power was an award-winning journalist who reported empathetically on the human condition.
The award proceeds from the recognition that many important stories need to be reported from afar, and that publications do not always have the resources to send a writer where the story is. The money need not be used exclusively for travel, but they expect that most successful applications will include such expenses.
Funding information
- Grant amount: $12,500
Eligibility Criteria
- A panel of NYU journalism professors, outside writers, and editors will review the proposals.
- Finalists will be asked to take part in an interview online.
Judging Criteria
- Judges will be looking for a writer as singular in his or her own approach as Power was in his.
