Entries open: 12 January 2026
The 38th One World Media Awards celebrates bold, authentic storytelling that brings underreported stories and voices from the Global South to the forefront. Across 13 categories, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, and global storytellers are invited to enter their work, which will be reviewed by a distinguished panel of more than 60 commissioners, editors, and industry leaders.
This is an opportunity to have your work recognised amongst the best in global journalism. The One World Media Awards recognise the best media coverage from and about the global south. Stories that break through stereotypes, change the narrative and connect people across cultures. Each year, hundreds of entries from all over the world are judged by our panels of distinguished professionals, carefully selected from the media and non-profit sectors for their wide-ranging experience and expertise.
