4. november er fristen for å sende inn bidrag til AIPS Awards for 2023.
Som kjent gikk Dagbladet helt til topps i fjor for artikkelserien En syk skinasjon, i kategorien Best writing color piece. Det ble sendt inn bidrag fra 138 nasjoner, så dette er et realt VM i sportsjournalistikk.
Det er åtte kategorier det kan sendes inn bidrag til, både tekst, lyd, bilder og video. Se beskrivelsene under.
Vi minner også om vår egen norske utgave som har innleveringsfrist ved årets utgang.
Her er påminnelsen fra AIPS som man også kan finne mer om på AIPS hjemmesider:
The submission period for the AIPS Sport Media Awards 2023 edition is entering its final stage. As our website www.aipsawards.com continue receiving works from all over the world, we would like to remind you to submit your work as soon as possible. As always, it’s completely free and open to all languages.
The AIPS Awards are the global prize for sports journalism, accepting works from all media professionals working in traditional and new media, regardless of their working status and with no restrictions when it comes to languages. These stories must have been first published or broadcast since 5 November 2022, until deadline of 4 November 2023.
SEND AHEAD, RECEIVE FEEDBACK While the deadline is set for November 4, we recommend submitting now in order to receive feedback from AIPS Awards staff and director Martin Mazur, who will check if your submission form is all OK, and notify you if any action is needed, such as change of category, missing material (photos, links, PDFs) or broken links that could prevent you from participating, if found once deadline’s passed.
As always, you can make changes, or delete your submission and place a new one, until the final deadline.
GLOBAL INTEREST Every year, more than 100 countries are represented in the 8 senior categories, each of them offering a maximum prize of 8,000 US Dollars, while the optional Under 30 category reserved for Young Reporters born since 1994 offers a scholarship at a top international event.
160 COUNTRIES In the 2021 edition, entries from 133 countries were submitted in 35 different languages. Last year, the number climbed to 138 countries. Since the start, 160 countries were represented by 4300 registered journalists.
FIVE STAGES The Awards, with the five voting stages before reaching the desired podium, are conceived as a celebration of our profession, with free participation and announcements for longlists, shortlists, Top 10, Podium Nominees and Winners. Each stage deserves a celebration, meaning someone’s work progressed to be featured among the world’s best.
CONTINENTAL RECOGNITION At the same time, the Awards also highlight the importance of the submissions on a local and regional scale. Continental rankings per category are also published in order to offer more opportunities and to celebrate those journalists whose works were among the most voted after the careful review of 40 pundits, Executive Committee members and jurors, in total representing 36 different nations.
Special commendations are also released yearly. In the 2020 edition, they were for the extraordinary reporting during the irruption of the pandemic. Since 2021 edition, our certificates of merit have been aligned with the cornerstone values of AIPS, including fighting against racism and discrimination, defending Human Rights and gender equality, access to sources and showcasing creativity and new ways of reporting.
We invite you to check the Rules, the Categories overview, the Frequently Asked Questions, and the quick guide on How to submit (which is very, very easy).
We are also answering live messages on our social media accounts, both AIPS Media and AIPS Awards, where we normally reply instantly.
Now it’s time to submit your work and feel part of the biggest sports journalism festival across the world. Go to www.aipsawards.com and join the celebration!
