The Lorenzo Natali Media Prize recognises and celebrates excellence in
reporting on sustainable development issues. The Prize rewards
journalists from around the globe who bring to light injustice and
compel us to act through their stories of human successes and
perseverance around sustainable development issues.

This year, journalists are invited to submit their reporting online by
15 March 2020. Entries should relate to sustainable development issues
such as, but not limited to, fighting poverty and inequalities, human
rights, democracy, youth, gender equality, environment and climate
change, health, technology and digital, etc. Detailed information on
the terms and conditions is available here.

Launched in 1992 by the European Commission, and named after Lorenzo
Natali, a precursor of European development policy, the #NataliPrize
recognises journalism’s contribution to building more sustainable,
fair and prosperous societies. Online, print or audio-visual reporting
of human stories help to shed light, demand change and search
solutions to poverty, inequalities and injustices.

The Prize also represents the heart of our democratic societies: a
community of voices who acts a mirror of truth. It brings together
past winners, jury members and strategic partners including leading
journalists, NGOs, influencers and academics – all united with a
passion for international partnerships and truth. Winning the Lorenzo
Natali Media Prize is not only a personal achievement for the
journalists concerned. The #NataliPrize Community recognises the media
outlets that published their articles as platforms that champion
sustainable development and democracy and give a voice to ordinary
people.

Every year, the Prize receives applications from journalists around
the world. The finalists are evaluated by an independent panel of
expert judges composed of recognised figures in journalism,
development and cooperation. In previous editions, Jeff Barrus,
Communications Director at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and
Una Galani, Associate Editor at Reuters Breakingviews, sat on the
Grand Jury. Past winning stories brought to light sustainable
development stories such as female hygiene and women discrimination in
India, property rights and cultural identity in Mauritania, or access
to employment to HIV-positive people in El Salvador.

Whether it is strengthening sustainability, poverty eradication,
fighting inequalities, supporting peace or democracy, in the end it is
about people. It is about their stories.
