European Press Prize

About European Press Prize

The aim of the European Press Prize is simple: to salute and encourage journalism of the highest quality wherever it can be found in our continent. Journalists from all 46 countries of Europe as defined by the Council of Europe membership plus Belarus and Russia are eligible to enter their work.

Quality journalism is of vital importance to healthy democracies, especially in a time when information is omnipresent. Unfortunately, because of a transforming and pressured market, quality has become increasingly difficult to maintain.

To help counter the effects of these transformations was one of the reasons the European Press Prize was envisioned. Formed by seven independent European foundations that all have strong media connections, all of which count excellence and public service as part of their collective challenge.
