Awards & Prizes
The ACIJ administers the George Munster Award for Independent Journalism and the Wanda Jamrozik Award. Both awards will be presented at the George Munster forum to be held from 6pm on Friday 19 September 2008.
The George Munster Award recognises excellence in independent journalism. Originally an award for freelance journalism, the award has been expanded to include applicants from any medium who are not necessarily freelancers, but who can demonstrate independence of mind, acuity and excellence in their craft. The award carries a prize of $1,000. Applications close 5pm 28 July 2008. For more information.
The Wanda Jamrozik Prize is awarded to the best Honours or graduate thesis/project in the areas of Journalism, Media Studies or a related field in Social Science and the Humanities, which exemplifies human values in the media, especially in relation to ethnic, racial and multicultural issues, both in Australia and internationally. The cash prize is determined by the Faculty based on the interest earned by the Trust in the preceding year. It is usually not less than $1,000. Applications close 5pm 11 July. For more information.
