Deadline: 30-Aug-2025
The Anna Politkovskaya-Arman Soldin Prize for Courage in Journalism will be awarded for the third time in early November 2025, to coincide with the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.
This prize aims to recognize the work of journalists and photojournalists who are committed to informing the public, especially in conflict zones and during crises. The prize honors two figures of journalistic courage: Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist known for her investigations into corruption and human rights violations, and Arman Soldin, a Franco-Bosnian journalist and photojournalist who reported on the conflict in Ukraine.
Journalists and photojournalists can apply for the 2025 prize by submitting an application using a specific form. The application deadline is midnight on August 30, 2025. The prize includes a lump-sum of €10,000, which is intended to fund a project by the winner.
