The United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA) invites media worldwide to submit entries for its 25th anniversary of the UNCA Awards for best print, broadcast (TV & Radio) and online, web-based media coverage of COVID-19, climate change and the United Nations, UN agencies and field operations.

Winners will be honored at the event by UN Secretary-General António Guterres in December 2021 (date to be confirmed) in New York.
 
While the UNCA Awards 25th anniversary was put on hold in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the UN Correspondents Association will return to hosting the annual event in December, honoring excellence in journalism around the globe.
 
Deadline for submissions is September 15, 2021.
 
The awards are open to all journalists anywhere in the world. 

The Awards are:
 
1. The Elizabeth Neuffer Memorial Prize for coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, sponsored by the Alexander Bodini Foundation. The prize is for print (including online media) and broadcast media (TV & Radio).
 
2. The Prince Albert II of Monaco and UNCA Global Prize for coverage of climate change. The prize is for print (including online media) and broadcast media (TV & Radio).
 
3. The Ricardo Ortega Memorial Prize for coverage of the United Nations, UN agencies and field operations, sponsored by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations. The prize is for print (including online media) and broadcast media (TV & Radio).
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS:
 
Work in print, broadcast (TV & Radio) and online coverage must be published between September 2019 and August 2021. 
 
The judges will look for entries with impact, insight, and originality, and will consider the courage and investigative and reporting skills of the journalists. Entries from the developing world media are particularly welcome. 
 
Entries can be submitted in any of the official UN languages (English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian), however a written transcript in English or French is necessary to facilitate the judging process.
