The fifth edition of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism is open! Professional journalists may submit their work, individually or in teams, by 31 July 2025, 12 PM (CET).
The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism was endorsed by the European Parliament in October 2020.
The Prize rewards on a yearly basis outstanding journalism that promotes or defends the core principles and values of the European Union such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights.
It is open to professional journalists and teams of professional journalists of any nationality, who can submit in-depth pieces that have been published or broadcast by media based in one of the 27 EU countries.
The award ceremony takes place every year around 16 October, as a symbolic reminder of the date when Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated.
Prize money of €20,000
The €20,000 annual prize will be awarded on October 2025 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The winning submission will be selected by an independent jury.
