2018 International Labour Organization (ILO) Global Competition On Labour Migration

Note: To successfully apply for this scholarship, ensure you read all instructions on this page.

The International Labour Organization (ILO)  is launching a global media competition which will recognize exemplary media coverage on labour migration.

The objective is to encourage quality reporting on labour migration. Such reporting is all the more significant as media often promotes a toxic public narrative based on nationality, national origin, gender and migratory status misperceptions, reinforcing prejudice, intolerance and stigmatization against migrant workers and their families.

Application Deadline: 27th October 2017

Eligible Countries: International Labour Organization (ILO) member countries.

Type: Contest

  • Written articles (online or print articles)
  • Media Production (photo journalism, audio, video)

Winners will be officially announced on 18 December to mark International Migrants Day.
