Zurich Journalism Prize: Send in texts now

Submissions of articles that have also or only been published in electronic form are therefore expressly welcome. Three prizes of 10,000 Swiss francs each will be awarded, as well as a prize for the complete work, as proposed by the jury and the foundation board.

In its new call for entries, the Zurich Journalism Prize is taking account of the rapidly changing environment and abolishing the categories that are no longer up to date, according to a statement. Whether print or online, it is not the type of medium or publication that should decide, but only the quality of the submitted text. Submissions of articles that have also or only been published in electronic form are therefore expressly welcome. Three new prizes will be awarded, each worth 10,000 Swiss francs. The jury and the foundation board can also propose prize winners who will be honored for their overall work. This prize is also endowed with 10,000 Swiss francs.

Texts from 2012 can now be sent in. The whole range of journalistic forms is welcome: Reportages, reports, features, portraits, investigative stories and glosses. The texts should either have been published in a medium published in the cantons of Zurich and Schaffhausen or the author should have a connection to these cantons (place of residence or work). The closing date for entries is January 15, 2013.
