DEADLINE: Amnesty International Canada Media Awards

Event Date: 
July 31, 2023

Amnesty International Canada recognizes journalists for excellence in covering human rights stories. The Amnesty International Canada Media Awards are presented annually in memory of John Humphrey, principal author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and are given in multiple categories, including one for post-secondary youth.

Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. EDT on Sunday, July 31, 2023. To be eligible for consideration, entries must have been published or broadcast in between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.  Unfortunately, we can only accept English submissions at this time.

Amnesty International Canada will announce the winners in September. We will present the honours at our first in-person Media Awards ceremony in four years, to be held in Toronto in October. More details will be announced soon.
