The Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation values the work of journalists from Poland and Germany. The aim of the competition is to support journalists whose work increases the knowledge of Poles and Germans about the neighbouring country and positively influences the quality of Polish-German relations.

The invitation is addressed to journalists from Poland and Germany who are preparing articles or reportages (print, radio, television, online), photo reportages, as well as books concerning:

– challenges for Polish-German cooperation in Europe and the world;

– the functioning of civil society in Europe;

– the everyday reality of cooperation in border areas;

– ecology, including in the context of European energy policy

Funding may cover research costs for an article or reportage (print, radio, television, online), photo reportage, or book – in Poland, Germany or neighbouring countries.

Journalists (with a professional track record) permanently residing in Poland or Germany may apply for the fellowship. The fellowship amounts to a maximum of EUR 2,500 (the amount depends on the nature of the research).

The fellowship application should include a CV and one representative publication, the concept of the planned work, and a cost plan.
