Established in 1988, the One World Media (OWM) Awards [1] recognise the best media coverage of the global south — stories that break through stereotypes, change the narrative and connect people across cultures. The Awards highlight the unique role of journalists and filmmakers in bridging the divide between cultures worldwide and raising awareness of underreported issues and stories.

Multiple categories, including Environmental Reporting and Press Freedom. Entry fees apply.

Winners receive a trophy and nominees are given a certificate. All shortlisted entrants receive an attendee ticket to the Awards Ceremony in June.

Deadline: Feb 9, 2026
