Professional journalists and teams of journalists of any nationality can participate in the call for submissions for the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize, launched by the European Parliament today, by submitting in-depth pieces that have been published or broadcast by media based in one of the 27 EU countries. “The aim is to support and highlight the importance of professional journalism in safeguarding human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights”. The winner will be chosen by an independent jury composed of representatives of the press and civil society from the 27 member states, as well as representatives of the main European journalists’ associations. The award ceremony takes place each year around 16 October – the date Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated. The prize and the €20,000 prize money demonstrate the European Parliament’s strong support for investigative journalism and the importance of a free press”. Journalists can submit their article(s) online at https://daphnejournalismprize.eu/ by 31 July 2025, at midnight.
Daphne Caruana Galizia was a journalist, blogger and anti-corruption activist.
