"They are the awards the media really want to win, a unique set of awards that recognise commitment, originality and verve" - Jon Snow   Channel 4 News

The One World Media Awards is one of the foremost Awards events in the UK. It rewards excellence in media coverage on the vital issues of international development. The awards recognise the unique role of journalists and filmmakers in bridging the divide between different societies, and communicating the breadth of social, political and cultural experiences across the globe.

The categories incorporate documentary film, radio programmes, print journalism and online media. As well as rewarding the best in journalism based in developed countries, there is also a category for community media, which features applicants from various countries in the developing world.

In the 20 years since its inception it has developed into a mainstream ceremony, recognised and supported throughout the media industry. Find out more on the following pages:
