A training, event or programme here can have a fee, and it says so on the page with a named organisation behind it. Being asked for money in private is different: no fee to process, secure or release anything, and nothing paid to a person instead of an organisation. That is a scam - report it.

Start a discussion about this in a post of your own or in one of your Circles. It stays linked to this opportunity.

Investigative journalism from the Global South can compete for GIJN's 2027 Global Shining Light Award, including cash and travel to GIJC27. The full details and the official application link are on goimpactnow. This thread is for questions about applying.

Some competitions charge an entry fee, especially in arts and film, and many do not. Check who runs it and what the fee pays for before you send any money.

Write the first draft badly and early. Nobody has ever been helped by staring at a blank form two days before a deadline.
