DEADLINE: Amnesty International Canada Media Awards

Amnesty International Canada recognizes journalists for excellence in covering human rights stories. The Amnesty International Canada Media Awards are presented annually in memory of John Humphrey, principal author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and are given in multiple categories, including one for post-secondary youth.

Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. EDT on August 25, 2024. To be eligible for consideration, entries must have been published or broadcast between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024.

No in-person ceremony is planned for the 2024 instalment of the Media Awards. Organizers plan to re-envision and relaunch the ceremony for 2025 as Amnesty International Canada celebrates the Media Awards’ 30th year.
