RORY PECK AWARDS

For over 25 years, the Rory Peck Awards has been celebrating the work of freelance journalists working in news and current affairs worldwide. These are the freelance reporters, filmmakers, photojournalists and camera operators who play a vital role in international newsgathering - and in keeping independent journalism alive.

Across four categories, the Awards honour quality and impact of work but also take into account individual endeavour and journalistic integrity.
