2020 HUMAN RIGHTS PRESS AWARDS

(Scroll down for Chinese version)

We are delighted to announce that The Human Rights Press Awards, Asia’s most prestigious honours that recognise outstanding human rights reporting, have returned for the 24th year and are now open for entries. The deadline is 1 February 2020.

The Human Rights Press Awards are organised by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club Hong Kong, Amnesty International Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Journalists Association.

Showcasing this work has become more important than ever as governments around the region step up threats to basic freedoms, whether it be locking up journalists, carrying out arbitrary detentions or silencing political opponents.

Submissions must have been reported about the Asia region and been published or broadcast during the 2019 calendar year. Entries must be in either English or Chinese. Categories include Breaking News, Feature, Commentary, Multimedia, Video, Audio and Photography. Please go to the website for more details.

Each entry must cite the article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that the work seeks to address. This landmark document sets out the inalienable rights to which every person is entitled.

亞洲矚目的新聞界盛事、二零二零年人權新聞獎現正接受報名，誠邀新聞工作者踴躍參與，截止日期為2020年2月1日。

人權新聞獎由香港外國記者會、國際特赦組織香港分會及香港記者協會合辦，以表彰亞洲區的卓越人權新聞報道，今年已是第二十四屆。獎項旨在增加公眾對人類基本權利尊重，並令大眾關注任何對這些權利之威脅。

近年區內多個政府對基本人權自由之侵害變本加厲，扣留記者、任意拘捕、打壓政治異己等新聞時有所聞，令舉辦此獎項以表揚人權新聞，更形重要。

參選作品必須為亞洲區的人權議題採訪報道，並於二零一九年內刊出或公開播放。參賽作品須以中文或英文提交，今屆參賽類別包括：突發新聞、特寫、評論、多媒體、錄像、電台廣播和錄音及攝影。詳情請瀏覽新聞獎官方網站。

參加者必須註明參選作品與《世界人權宣言》中哪一條人權宣言相關。
