Judging
After the entries have come in, they will be assessed and sifted through by the Preparatory Committee, consulting widely.
The Preparatory Committee’s choices and the resulting shortlists will be published on the European Press Prize website. All shortlisted journalists will be asked to attend the ceremony where the winners will
be announced.
The Panel of Judges makes the final selection of winners and chooses the recipient of the Special Award. The winners will be announced during the Ceremony in May or June.
The following rules are adhered to during the judging process:
PrepCom and judges cannot enter the contest in the year they are judging.
Each PrepCom / judge, whether an ordinary member or chair, has one equal vote.
All proceedings and deliberations of each jury are conducted in confidence.
If PrepCom members or judges recognise they are personally involved in submitted work, through either a personal or professional relationship, for instance when working for the same organisation, they must declare their interest openly at the beginning of any discussions on the work and withhold their vote.
The laureates will be announced in two stages. First of all, nominees in all categories will be announced. Secondly, the winners in all categories, including the Special Award will be announced at the award ceremony.
The chair of the PrepCom will sit in at the Judges’ meeting to elaborate on the year’s entries and choices made by PrepCom. The chair of the PrepCom does not hold a formal vote during the meeting of judges.
