The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) rewards, promotes and encourages best practices in journalism works which focus on themes ranging from regulatory failures, corruption in the public and corporate spheres, and human rights abuses in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The 2020 award will reward works that explore the intersection between Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of focus area for the 15th edition of the award programme is due to the fact that COVID-19 has exacerbated problems of poverty, hunger, education, health and inequalities between female and male persons among others, that Nigeria faces as the country marks its 60th independence anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The Award was instituted and first held in October 2005 to aid the development of an investigative reporting culture in the Nigerian media. In naming the award after Wole Soyinka, the initiators hoped to bring further attention to Soyinka\u2019s untiring and relentless support for the cause of freedom of expression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Print<\/li>\n<li>Radio<\/li>\n<li>Television<\/li>\n<li>Photography<\/li>\n<li>Online<\/li>\n<li>Editorial cartoon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Award<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The award win includes a cash prize, an award plaque, a certificate of commendation, a computer backup hard drive and an international study tour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open to any Nigerian professional reporter or team of reporters (full time or freelancers);<\/li>\n<li>Be 18-years and above;<\/li>\n<li>Have published stories either online, in print, or through electronic media primarily targeted at and received by a Nigerian audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Criteria<\/p>\n<div class=\"12e8abe62ae64b91c0bfbd6c80849a4d\" data-index=\"4\"><\/div>\n<p>The main criterion for eligibility is that the work (single work or single-subject serial) must involve reporting on public, and or corporate corruption, human rights violation, or on the failure of regulatory agencies.
