Applications are open for the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism 2024.

The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism was launched on 16 October 2020 as a tribute to the Maltese anti-corruption investigative journalist and blogger who was assassinated in a car bomb attack in 2017. The Prize was endorsed by the European Parliament in October 2020, and it will be awarded on a yearly basis.

The winner will be invited to participate in the Award Ceremony of the Prize. The European Parliament will cover the winner’s travel costs.
