Reportagen Magazine seeks entries in 12 languages [Worldwide]

Journalists anywhere can enter in this international contest.

Reportagen Magazine, with the support of Bern Welcome, organizes the True Story Award, a journalism prize that aims to make reporters’ voices known beyond the borders of their home countries and to increase the diversity of perspectives offered by the media.

Works can be submitted in 12 languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Persian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Works written in other languages must be translated into English and submitted in the categories "Europe" or "World."

Texts of 3,000 to 17,000 words published in print or online between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2018 are eligible.

A jury consisting of 50 members from 29 countries will select the best 42 texts, whose authors will travel to Bern, Switzerland, for the award ceremony. Three winners will receive CHF30,000 (US$29,986), CHF20,000 (US$19,991) and CHF10,000 (US$9,995) each.

The deadline to apply is Jan. 10, 2019.
