The Georgina Henry Award supports the brightest new ideas in journalism with a £4,000 annual prize, sponsored by Wiggin LLP. The prize is used to support an initiative by the applicant, who can be of any age and work in either print or multimedia. The winner will also join the WIJ committee and become an honorary Women in Journalism Fellow.
Judges will look for evidence of impactful journalism and real innovation, either through new ideas or principles. Entries can include work from any journalistic discipline, including video, audio, and written journalism.
Eligibility Criteria:
- You must be a woman working in the UK journalism industry, with preference given to those whose work is unsupported by a large media organization.
- Your project can be at any stage, but you must submit examples of previous work and any other relevant material.
- If shortlisted, you must be able to attend the SOE Awards on 12th November, where the winner will be announced. WIJ can help with costs where this is a barrier.
- At the start of the 2025 applications, you'll be asked to write about your year and the difference the prize money has made. You'll also participate in a session to share your learnings with Women in Journalism members.
