    The One World Media Awards 2021 celebrate underreported stories from around the world (16 February)

    Across 15 categories, the awards celebrate and recognise the best media coverage of the global south; stories that break through stereotypes, change the narrative and connect people across cultures.

    The Awards look to champion stories that demonstrate originality, creativity, and the potential to catalyse change. All entries should highlight underreported stories or issues, or explore new angles on familiar topics.

    We are par­tic­u­lar­ly look­ing at how the sto­ry is told: Is it ampli­fy­ing voic­es that are nor­mal­ly unheard? Is it an inspir­ing sto­ry that will cre­ate change? Does the sto­ry chal­lenge mis­per­cep­tions or stereo­types?
