The Anna Lindh Mediterranean Journalist Award recognizes the positive role played by media in reporting on issues of cultural diversity and providing balanced and informed coverage.
Founded in 2006 in partnership with the International Federation of Journalists, the regional Award targets in particular young media practitioners who are embarking on their careers. The Award is promoted each year through an open competition across the Mediterranean region, and the prizes are bestowed by an international jury composed of leading media experts. Former Chairs of the Jury have included: Amin Maalouf (Lebanon), Edgar Morin (France) and Tim Sebastian (UK).

The winners will receive 2500 Euros each and a trophy.
The winners and finalists will be involved during the whole year in the Anna Lindh Foundation’s future activities and events organized by the Anna Lindh National Network in their home country.
