Two US$5,000 first-place prizes will be awarded, one to a U.S.-based journalist or news outlet and one to a non-U.S.-based reporter or outlet. Five finalists will receive US$1,000. In addition, the judges at their discretion may award a special citation for work that is unusually enterprising or done under especially challenging circumstances.
