2023 Excellence Journalism Award Nomination
Established by She Leads Coalition (SLC) and Partners, the Excellence Journalism Award recognizes the editor, journalist or news director of a media outlet viewed by SLC as having done the most in the past year to increase public knowledge advocating for women’s fair access to political spheres – as voters, candidates, elected officials and civil service members. Nominations should be accompanied by a copy of the written, radio or video piece that stimulated the nomination. This award will be conferred on an annual basis.
If your agency or organization knows of a print or broadcast media report or set of reports worthy of consideration, please submit a nomination to the Awards Committee according to the following guidelines:
- The award is not restricted to print media, but is open to all professional journalists of all categories.
- The subject material may encompass any area of promoting gender-responsive media narrative, women in leadership and gender equality.
- The work involved may entail ongoing coverage of women in leadership issues over a long period of time, a series of pieces or a single piece.
- The piece must have been released within one year of the nomination. Because nominations are due September 1, 2023, eligible pieces should have appeared between August 31, 2022, and September 1, 2023.
- The work should exemplify thoughtful, insightful and constructive commentary; a depth of knowledge about gender equality; factual presentation with engaging style and clarity; and high standards of journalistic integrity.

- All nominations must be received at SLC portal by September 1, 2023. Please note that if your nominee is selected, the two winners must be present to receive the award in Paris December 8, 2023. The two awards come with $5000 in award money, spilt between two winners.
