Awarding Tandems

The distinction with this award is not only about the journalistic craft. Our jury places equal importance on the social value of these contents and the people that gave cause for reporting in the first place.

Thus, the Constructive World Award recognises “tandems”.

Idea and Spirit
People and organisations sustainably advancing our society through their concrete innovations and actions.
Reporting
Media professionals reporting with a critical distance and constructive attitude, whose content has a positive effect on our society.

The Categories

The Constructive World Award is conferred in five categories. The Award Categories are based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) used by the UN to define our greatest societal problems on a global scale.

This award is about solutions, solutions for problems our world is facing. This is why we are looking forward to submissions in the following categories.

We are awarding a prize money of EUR 5,000 in each category!
