The European Press Prize is a non-profit foundation based in the Netherlands. It runs a programme of journalism awards of the same name for journalists from 46 countries, the Council of Europe, Belarus and Russia.[1][2] As part of the programme, a jury awards prizes in five categories each year. These are Distinguished Reporting, Innovation, Investigative Reporting, Migration Journalism and Public Discourse. In addition, the jury also awards a special prize for outstanding journalism that transcends categories and disciplines.[3]

History

[edit]

The European Press Prize was founded in 2012 by seven European media foundations: The Guardian Foundation,[4] Thomson Reuters Foundation, Jyllands-Posten Foundation, Politiken Foundation, Media Development Investment Fund, Vereniging Veronica and Stichting Democratie en Media.[5][6] In 2015, The Irish Times Trust Limited joined as a member organisation, and Agora SA followed two years later. In 2020, the philanthropic organisation Luminate became a member.[7]

The first ceremony was at De Balie in Amsterdam in 2013, the 2014 awards were given at the Reuters headquarters in London, and in 2015 the European Press Prize visited the JP/Politiken headquarters in Copenhagen. The 2016 awards were presented in Prague with the help of the Forum2000 team. For the fifth anniversary in 2017, the ceremony was held in founding place De Balie in Amsterdam again.[8] In 2018 it took place in Budapest at the Open Archives Society.[9] In 2019 the prizes were awarded in Warsaw at the headquarters of Gazeta Wyborcza.[10] As the COVID-19 pandemic prohibited a live ceremony, the winners of the 2020 and the 2021 edition were announced online.[11]

The organisation is based in Amsterdam.[12]

Jury

[edit]

Each year, a preparatory committee selects a shortlist, which is published on the European Press Prize website. A panel of judges then selects the winners of the five categories from this list. The jury also decides who will receive the special prize. The winners are usually announced at the Awards Ceremony in May or June.[13]

Currently, the panel of judges is composed of:[14]

From 2013 until 2020:
