These awards celebrate individuals who push the boundaries of reporting under challenging conditions. The nomination deadline is 1 February 2027. The Courage in Journalism Awards aim to honor journalists who demonstrate extraordinary courage in their reporting.

The awards highlight their commitment to press freedom and their influence as leaders in the media industry. While the awards themselves do not specify financial rewards, they provide significant recognition and visibility to the honorees, potentially enhancing their careers and influence in journalism. The Courage in Journalism Awards are vital for highlighting the essential work of journalists who face significant risks to report the truth. By recognizing these individuals, the IWMF promotes press freedom and supports the journalists’ efforts to inform the public despite obstacles. Can I nominate myself for the award? No, self-nominations are not accepted. Is there a specific format for the nomination? Submit nominations using the online form available on the IWMF’s Submittable page. Are there language options for submission? Yes, nominations can be submitted in Spanish and French. Who can I contact for technical issues during the application process?

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
