Freelance and full-time journalists are invited to prove they are the definitive investigative and campaigning reporter by entering this year’s Paul Foot Award.
Launched by The Guardian and Private Eye, the contest invites journalists or teams of journalists to submit work that is in the spirit of investigative reporter Paul Foot, who died in 2004.
Two copies of relevant material must be sent by post, accompanied by a covering letter of no more than two A4 pages, before the deadline of September 1 2007.
The material that best proves a journalist’s investigative skills can have been published in a newspaper, magazine or website between September 1 2006 and August this year.
However submissions of broadcast material will not be accepted, the competition’s organisers said.
They stressed that original work should not be sent in, as all submissions are non-returnable, and entrants will not have their work formally acknowledged.
There is however a grand first place prize of £5,000 and five runners up will also receive £1,000, at a London-based ceremony to be held on October.
Application forms can be downloaded from http://www.private-eye.co.uk and should be sent together with your submission by post only to:
