The Journalistic Television Award, dedicated to Ilaria Alpi, was born to acknowledge and promote the commitment to television reports on social issues.

2009 Call for Entries

The competition is addressed to investigative television reports covering issues of social and civil interest (i.e. solidarity, non-violence, justice, human rights, and employment). The reports will be evaluated according to the content of the information supplied. The lack of advanced technology involved will not penalize the final evaluation of the competition.

The Ilaria Alpi Television Journalistic Award is divided into the following sections:

Best International Report Award:
reserved for press reports (reports and investigations) that were broadcast on national and international television networks and realized by not italian journalists. TV press offices and journalists can submit up to three reports to the Award Secretary Office.

The Best International Report Award amounts to euro 2.500

International Miran Hrovatin Award:
TV press offices, cameramen and video journalists can submit their reports to the Award Secretary Office. Reports will be evaluated on the images shown. The reports that participate in the other section also compete for the Miran Hrovatin Award, which amounts to euro 2.000.
