Awards

Apply for Kurt Schork Memorial Fund

DEADLINE: MAY 31, 2021 —The Kurt Schork Memorial Fund (KSMF) is now accepting submissions for its 2021 awards in international journalism.

The 20th annual call for awards is in three categories:

• Local Reporter award that recognizes the often over-looked work of journalists in developing nations or countries in transition who write about events in their homeland.

• Freelance award for journalists who travel to the world’s conflict zones, usually at great personal risk, to witness and report the impact and consequences of events.

• News Fixer award rewarding local journalists and/or experts, hired by a visiting foreign reporter or news organization, whose guidance and local knowledge materially benefited the content, impact and reach of the stories submitted.

Each award is for $5,000 and will be presented at a prestigious ceremony in London.

The submitted articles must have been published between June 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021.
Journalists from print-based medium, such as newspapers and magazines, or established online publications can apply.
The deadline for entries is May 31, 2021.
