Judges of the award look for stories that are revelatory, prompt public debate and have led to, or have the potential to lead to, positive change in society.

Journalists working in the developing world are invited to succeed Ukrainian investigative reporter, Mariana Motrunych, as the Thomson Foundation Young Journalist FPA Award winner. If you are journalist aged 30 and under working in a country with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of less than $20,000, you are eligible to enter the award when it reopens in June 2018.
