Attention to sports journalists!

In a moment of extreme uncertainty for the world, good journalism does not stop and neither do the AIPS Sport Media Awards.

Submissions for the third edition are officially open for all categories. The Awards are a true festival for the best sport storytellers across all media platforms, from photography to video, from print to digital, from podcasts to sports blogs.

CATEGORIES – These are the main categories:

- Writing – Best Column, Best Colour Piece

- Photography – Sport Action, Portfolio

- Video – Short Feature (up to 10’), Documentary, Athlete Profile

- Audio – including podcasts.

Finalists of all these categories are entitled to prize money. Winners of each category would claim a US$ 8,000 cheque, while second and third would receive US$ 3,000 and US$ 2,000, respectively. The final ceremony will take place in the first part of 2021.

YOUNG REPORTERS - The last category is the special Young Reporter Under 30, for those born after January 1, 1991, that has three subcategories: Writing, Photography and Broadcasting.
