The ADAMI Media Prize this year will hold an additional competition for the best news piece or short video on cultural diversity during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The competition opens 16 July 2020 and the application deadline is 31 July 2020, IPN reports.
In a press release, the ADAMI Media Prize said COVID-19 has dominated media coverage this year and it has presented new challenges to Eastern Partnership journalists. The pandemic has contributed to heightened ethnic tensions; minorities and migrants have been stigmatized or even blamed for spreading the virus. Many have also suffered from information gaps due to remote living conditions or language barriers.
The ADAMI Media Prize would like to recognize outstanding journalistic contributions during this global crisis by awarding a prize for a news piece or other short video focused on COVID-19 and cultural diversity, ethnic and religious minorities and migration.
Journalists, filmmakers, production companies and broadcasters may submit material, which should not be longer than 5 minutes. To apply, one should visit: https://form.jotform.com/RegistrationADAMI/ADAMI-COVID19.
