Cancer Journalism Award

Other Languages

The Cancer Journalism Award is an annual award that recognises and encourages excellent cancer journalism. Information on the Award can be found in the following languages:
Italiano – Français – Deutsche – Español – русский

Is your journalism improving public understanding of cancer?

The European School of Oncology is looking for outstanding pieces of journalism published or broadcast between January 2020 and end of March 2021 that are changing the way we think about cancer.

The Cancer Journalism Award encourages, celebrates and rewards journalists who deliver insights into the personal and social effects of the disease, and the impact of policy, practice and advocacy.

We are inviting journalists to submit one or more items of their work – whether in print, online, on radio, video or television – into the following three categories:

  • Policy, services and affordability
  • Research and science
  • Prevention and treatment

Further details about each category can be found here.

In all categories, we are looking for articles/programmes that move beyond documenting experience, science, policy and practice. We want to reward work that asks difficult questions, increases awareness and prompts change. We are particularly looking for investigative stories. We expect that patient experience and perspectives will be reflected in all submissions, whatever the category.

The Award is open to journalists working in the following regions:

  • Europe (including non EU countries)
  • Eastern Europe (including non EU countries)
  • Eurasia
  • Mediterranean area
  • Central and Latin America

A prize of €1500 is available for the winner in each category. The journalist judged the overall winner will receive an additional €500 bringing their prize total to €2000.

Applications are now open and can be made online via the Cancerworld website www.cancerworld.net

The closing date for entries is 30th April 2021

Procedure and rules

  • Each entry – an article, video, podcast, radio or TV programme – must be entered under one category.
  • Journalists can enter up to three pieces of work, but each must be entered separately into a separate category.
  • Only entries made online at cancerworld.net/media/cancerworld-journalism-award/ will be accepted.
  • Each entry must have been published/broadcast between 1st January 2020 and 31st March 2021.
  • If the entry being submitted is not in English, it should be accompanied by an English translation. Entrants may use whichever method of translation they like, including Google Translate. The judges want to encourage entries from as many countries as possible, so will be sympathetic to translation difficulties. However, the translation must be of sufficient quality to allow a proper judgement of the work to be made.
  • Television, video, podcast or radio entries must be made available from a website such as YouTube or Vimeo so that a link can be provided to judges.
  • The judges reserve the right to change the category that an entry is entered into.
  • The judges reserve the right not to award a prize in a category if they believe entries are not of sufficient quality.
  • Journalists should provide a statement of no more than 150 words with each entry, explaining why it deserves recognition.

Please read carefully the attached application procedure document before applying.

 

Cancerworld Award – Application procedure

Please read the steps below carefully before applying:

Step 1

You can submit up to three pieces of published work. For each piece of work you must select the relevant category:
  • Research and science
    We are looking for work that seriously assesses the value of new discoveries and developments rather than simply describing them
  • Policy, services and affordability
    We want accessible pieces that raise serious questions about cancer services and discuss possible answers
  • Prevention and treatment
    We are looking for pieces examining cancer causes, assessing risk reduction (including early detection) and exploring issues surrounding the risks and benefits of treatment.


Written articles should be saved in one of the following formats: a word doc, pdf or jpeg. If your article is available online you can insert a direct link on the application form instead of uploading a document.
Work published on television, film, video and radio/podcast should be made available by providing a link to a website such as YouTube or Vimeo.

Step 2

If your work is not in English you will be required to prepare a translation of the piece into English. You will need to upload this separately on to our system when you upload your piece of work. Entrants may use whichever method of translation they like, including Google Translate. The judges want to encourage entries from as many countries as possible, so will be sympathetic to translation difficulties. However, the translation must be of sufficient quality to allow a proper judgement of the work to be made.

Step 3

Please prepare and save a statement (no more than 150 words) as to why your piece of work should receive a Cancer Journalism Award. This can be submitted either as a word doc. or pdf. You will be requested to upload a separate statement for each piece of work you submit.

Step 4

Please download and complete the attached Copyright Form. You will be requested to upload a completed version of this form for each piece of work that you submit. We request this form because we would like to reprint winning articles in our print and online magazine Cancerworld. If your piece of work is a radio/television broadcast you are not required to give us copyright but if you win the Award one of the Cancerworld journalists will cover your winning piece as an article in Cancerworld.

Step 5

Once all these documents are ready you can start the application process. Please click on the ‘Apply Now’ button on the webpage and complete the personal details form first. You will then be required to upload your work and documents.

For more information please contact: chall@eso.net or call Corinne Hall +39 02 85 4645 22
