Application Deadline: October 29, 2024
Applications are now open for the 2024 ICFJ/WHO Road Safety Reporting Competition. The Road Safety Reporting Competition and Awards aims to help journalists produce stories that shine a light on road crash deaths and injuries in some of the hardest-hit countries.
According to the World Health Organization WHO, nearly 1.2 million people are killed in road traffic crashes each year – more than 2 every minute – representing the leading global cause of death among children and young adults aged 5 – 29. The Road Safety Reporting Competition and Awards are implemented through ICFJ, supported by the FIA Foundation Richard Stanley Memorial Grant and the WHO through funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies, to raise awareness and spur dialogue around critical, yet under-reported, road safety issues.
Eligibility Requirements.
- Have published in media outlets in Brazil, Botswana, India, Mexico, Nepal or Nigeria.
- Have published at least one story related to road safety. This contest will accept multimedia submissions, not solely print media.
- Submit a resume/curriculum vitae.
- To be considered, a road safety story must be published between January 1, 2024, and October 29, 2024.
