Nominations for the "IAPA Grand Prize for Press Freedom" may be submitted during the IAPA Midyear Meeting and may be in respect of events or publication occurring before the competition year. During the Midyear Meetings, there will be a box in which those attending will be able to place their nominations for the "IAPA Grand Prize for Press Freedom." DOCUMENTATION 6. Presentation: The entries should be presented in one folder, on the front of which the entrant shall put his name, the title of the work, the name of the publication that published it and the relevant category. The folder should be divided into the following indicated sections. 7. Number of Copies.
Two originals or photocopies of the complete work, folded and pasted to
one or more US letter or A4 size page, in such a way that when unfolded
they may be clearly seen by the judges. In the case of a series, all the
articles should be included. 8. Original proof of
the publication: A copy of the edition of the newspaper, periodical or magazine
in which the entry was published, so that the judges can consider it in
context. Only the section in which it appeared need be submitted. If the
work is a series, only the first published part is required. For series
of more than 10 parts, the first five and the last one are all that are
required. In the case of the online publication, some proof of such publication
is required. 11. Nominee(s). Each nominee journalist should attach to his entry an 5x7" matte color photo and a brief résumé. Media entries should include a similar photo of the newsroom, of the newspaper building entrance and of the front page. 12. Identification of Category. Each entry shall be for only one category, which shall be clearly identified by the contestant. The judges may, at their discretion, reclassify the entry to the category they deem appropriate. Entries may be submitted in no more than three categories per medium. 13. Works Published in More than One Publication. If the same work has been published in more than one publication, even of the same company, the entrant must choose only one. Otherwise, the entry shall be withdrawn from the contest. 14. Limits to Number of Entries. A journalist may submit entries in different categories, but no more than one in each category. A maximum of three categories will be accepted per journalist. A work bylined by more than one journalist shall be considered for these purposes as the work of one person; therefore, the collective work may be submitted in only one category.
