Save the Children is proudly launching a global media award to celebrate excellence in journalism for child rights in honour of the centennial year since the first Declaration of the Rights of the Child, drafted by our founder, Eglantyne Jebb, was adopted by the League of Nations.

The competition welcomes professional journalists from around the world, inviting those whose storytelling has played a pivotal role in exposing child right issues.
