Launched with the hashtag #TellMyStory, the Lorenzo Natali Media Prize will be awarded to one amateur and one professional journalist from each of the following regions: Africa; the Arab World and the Middle East; Asia and the Pacific; Latin America and the Caribbean; and Europe. Each winner will be awarded €5 000.

The Special Prizes of €5 000 each will be awarded to one amateur and one professional journalist.

 

Submissions for the main Prize and special category will be assessed by an independent jury, which will also award an additional €5 000 Grand Prize to one of the winners.

 

All 13 winners will receive their awards at a ceremony during the 2017 European Development Days in Brussels this June.
