Applications are open for the ILO Global Media Competition on Labour Migration 2024. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, the Competition will award a special prize dedicated to reporting on forced labour and trafficking in persons.
Opportunity Details
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is launching the tenth edition of its annual Global Media Competition. Its aim is to distinguish fair and balanced media reports on labour migration. This is especially important because of the impact that negative and stereotypical public narratives can have in terms of fueling discrimination and abusive practices towards migrant workers.
Four professional prizes (including one special prize dedicated to forced labour and trafficking in person) and one student prize will be awarded. Winners can choose between a cash prize of US$1,200 in the professional category and US$500 in the student category, or a paid fellowship to participate in an online ITC-Turin fair recruitment or forced labour or labour migration course in 2025.
