Contest focuses on coverage of labour migration

Professional journalists are invited to submit articles or videos/multimedia to this contest.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is accepting entries for its 2016 global media competition on “Breaking stereotypes on labor migration.”

The contest aims to show the positive results of good labor migration governance while not overlooking the negative aspects (e.g. often a hard reality of exploitation and violation of human and labor rights), and highlight the positive contribution of migrant workers to countries of origin, transit and destination.

The categories are written articles and videos/multimedia. Articles should not exceed 2,000 words and videos/multimedia should not be longer than 5 minutes. Entries in other languages than English, French and Spanish must include a translation.

Each category winner will receive US$1,000.

The deadline is Oct. 31.
