About

One hundred years ago, our founder Eglantyne Jebb drafted the first declaration of the Rights of the Child, asserting that every child has rights.

In tribute to her legacy and in commemoration of the centennial year since the League of Nations adopted the declaration, Save the Children is proudly launching a global media award to celebrate excellence in journalism for child rights.

The competition welcomes professional journalists from across the world, inviting those whose storytelling has played a pivotal role in exposing crucial child right issues. Entries are accepted in all mediums, including print, broadcast (TV, radio, and podcast), photography, and digital (multimedia / data).

There will be two winners: One from local/regional media and one from an international outlet or wire. By recognising outstanding storytelling at both the local and international levels, we hope to showcase the power of media in driving positive change for children everywhere.

Finalists will be announced in October and the winners will be announced on World Children’s Day, 20 November 2024.

Before making a submission, please read the requirements for the award carefully and submit your entry as per the Criteria.
