IPN's Bastiat Prize for Journalism was inspired by the 19th-century French philosopher and journalist Frédéric Bastiat. The prize was developed to encourage and reward writers whose published works promote the institutions of a free society: limited government, rule of law brokered by an independent judiciary, protection of private property, free markets, free speech, and sound science.The prize fund (a total of US$15,000) will be divided between First, Second and Third placed authors.

The Committee (Association of European Journalists) agreed to continue awarding an annual prize for European journalism but decided to stop calling it the Emmanuel Gazzo prize because the Gazzo name was so little known. The Gazzo family had also asked to sever its connection with the prize. It will now again be known as the European Journalism Prize.

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.
