Media Awards 2010 - Entry now open

The Amnesty International media awards recognise excellence in human rights journalism that makes a significant contribution to the UK public's understanding of human rights.

The awards, established in 1992, celebrate the breadth of reporting across different media and acknowledge the risks journalists take while reporting the stories that might otherwise remain untold.

WHY ENTER?

'It's an honour to be recognised with such a prestigious award, but the greatest part of winning is in realising that it broadens public awareness of the stories that have been highlighted.'
- Lucy Adams, The Herald, Winner 2009 nations and regions category

Over nearly two decades Amnesty International UK's Media Awards have grown in size and prestige.

Previous winners have described their award as a special honour and a great encouragement. Like us they have often been keen to throw a spotlight on human rights abuses that have been under-reported or forgotten and they acknowledge the role of the Amnesty Media Awards in helping them to do so.

We regularly hear that the Amnesty Media Awards help to persuade editors to give important stories the prominence they deserve.
