Each year, we recognize Canadian journalists for exemplary work covering issues related to the sexual exploitation of children. Award winners receive $500 and a commemorative item. Travel and accommodations to the attend awards event is also included for professional journalist categories. For more information contact us.
Categories
Each category has a separate award for English and French submissions.
News or feature article, appearing in a traditional print or online publication (with editorial oversight), that covers issues related to the sexual exploitation of children and/or youth.
Television/Radio/Film
News, feature story or documentary that covers the issues related to the sexual exploitation of children and/or youth. Submission must have been broadcast or screened publicly.
Integrated Media
Feature news stories that use multiple mediums to report on the issue of child sexual exploitation. For example, a newspaper may use print, online video and a social media platform to tell a story. Note, each medium should add something unique to the story rather than simply re-tell it in a different format.
Student Journalist Award
Recognizing journalists and filmmakers at the beginning of their careers; publication/broadcast is not required for this award.
Deadlines
Deadline for submission is September 15 annually. Air/publication date up to and including August 31 of each year will be considered. Beyond Borders will announce the award on November 18.
