IWMF awards
The International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) is currently seeking nominations for its courage in journalism awards. The awards “honour journalists for demonstrating extraordinary strength of character in pursuing their craft under difficult or dangerous circumstances, physical danger, official secrecy or oppression, political pressure, or any other professionally intimidating obstacles.”

Full or part-time journalists including reporters, writers, editors, photographers and producers are eligible to apply. Up to three individuals will be selected for the awards.
The prize consists of US $2,000 and a crystal sculpture, which symbolises freedom and courage. The awards will be presented to the selected three recipients in ceremonies held in New York City and Los Angeles in October 2000.

Applicants must submit a letter of nomination, a brief biography highlighting the nominee's work history as it relates to the award, the nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, a writing sample representative of the nominee's work, and current contact information for the nominee.

The deadline for the nomination is 14 April, 2000.
