Come to Zagreb as an awardee!

Voices is granting 10 awards for 1000 euros each to young journalists and media literacy advocates to participate in the festival’s first edition.
The Awards have a dual focus and will recognise five achievements in the field of Journalism, and five achievements in the realm of Media Literacy. Each comprises different categories dedicated to diverse themes described in the calls for entries.
Are you dedicated to these fields? Can you showcase innovation in your work and projects? Stay tuned; applications will open soon.
