ICIJ Award for Outstanding International Investigative Reporting

The ICIJ Award for Outstanding International Investigative Reporting is the only one of its kind created specifically to honor transnational investigative reporting. The $20,000 first-place prize and $1,000 finalist awards are made possible by a grant from The John and Florence Newman Foundation to recognize, reward, and foster international investigative reporting.

The competition is open to any professional journalist or team of journalists of any nationality working in any medium. The main criteria for eligibility is that the investigation - either a single work or a single-subject series - involves reporting in at least two countries on a topic of world significance.

A five-member jury of international journalists selects one award winner and up to five finalist entries each year.

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a project of the Center for Public Integrity, is a select group of investigative reporters around the globe who combine talents to provide in-depth information in a world where borders have become permeable even as foreign news bureaus have closed.

We believe that an enlightened populace is an empowered one, and the ICIJ award is just one more way we try to achieve that goal.
