PRIX EUROPA TRAVEL GRANT WINNER

This year, for the first time, we have asked media makers all over the continent to nominate colleagues who have made an outstanding contribution to the credibility and indispensability of journalism.

Everyone who proposed a candidate has automatically qualified for the PRIX EUROPA travel grant raffle, and we are now happy to announce the winner - Anna Dudzińska!
This photo shows how she looked like when she received the news, and here is what she wrote:

‘…what an incredible news! I have never been raffled for my entire life! … I have been working as Polish Radio correspondent in Dubai for last two years. Unfortunately I have to go to Iran for event organised in October by Polish Embassy there. Give me some time till the end of weekend if I can move up my Iranian trip. It won’t be easy but at least I have to try.’

In case she won’t be able to join us this year, we will keep her grant for next year!

Jury Coordinators 2017

The PRIX EUROPA organisers appoint one or two Coordinators for each Jury Group to lead the discussions and oversee the voting procedures.

All Coordinators understand a lot about programmes, are good communicators and − have a warm heart. They are supported by a Jury Assistant, appointed by the organisers. Each Coordinator also has full voting rights.
Meet the 16 Jury Coordinators and read what they have to say about this year’s PRIX EUROPA focus: Whom do we trust - and why?
