The IWMF accepts nominations for the Courage in Journalism Awards each year from January 1 – March 15. Nomination forms are available on the IWMF Web site during that time. Women journalists working in any media in any part of the world can be nominated. Awardees must demonstrate commitment to journalism as a profession and dedication to the highest standards of truth in reporting. They must be able to show a consistent, continuing body of work. Winners are selected each year by a panel of prominent journalists and IWMF board members from a pool of some 50 nominations. Awards ceremonies for the Courage in Journalism Awards are held in October, when some 1,000 IWMF supporters gather in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., to honor three Courage Award winners and one Lifetime Achievement Award winner.
