Journalists from developing countries aged 30 or younger can apply for the 2024 Young Journalist of the Year Award, organized by the Thompson Foundation in collaboration with the Foreign Press Association (FPA).
The award brings international recognition and, as previous winner Yara discovered, opportunities to meet international editors. She had several articles published by The Guardian after visiting the media group’s London headquarters when she was in the UK to receive her prize.
To enter, young journalists must provide a portfolio of three published or broadcast pieces of work produced in the 12 months preceding the award deadline. The deadline for submissions is midnight GMT on August 9, 2024. Entries can be in any format: print, audio, video, multimedia, or a combination of all four.
All entrants must be reporting from their home country, as defined by the GNI, or from another country that fits the same criteria. Applicants also need to explain any collaboration undertaken with colleagues or external organizations on the submitted stories.
Journalists entering the FPA award must submit a written statement of no more than 200 words per story, summarizing the content and any impact it had on public debate in the country of publication or broadcast.
