On 4 May, the European Parliament officially launched the call for submissions for entries to the sixth edition of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism.
The annual prize rewards outstanding journalism that promotes or defends the core principles and values of the European Union such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola stated that the prize remains a powerful symbol of the commitment to stand by journalists in their fight for justice, honoring those who dare to bring the truth to light.
The prize is open to professional journalists and teams of any nationality who submit in-depth pieces published or broadcast by media based in one of the 27 EU countries.
The winner will be chosen by an independent jury composed of representatives of the press and civil society.
The prize, including €20 000 in prize money, demonstrates the European Parliament’s strong support for investigative journalism. Journalists can submit their articles online by 31 July 2026, with the award ceremony taking place in mid-October to honour the anniversary of the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Caruana Galizia was killed on 16 October 2017.
Journalists can submit their article(s) online at https://daphnejournalismprize.eu/ by 31 July 2026, midnight (CET).
