After 14 years of supporting journalists across the Balkans, we are now also accepting applications from mid-career journalists in Visegrad Group countries — Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
Each year, 10 journalists are chosen by an independent jury to receive a €3,000 bursary, close editorial supervision and mentoring and the chance to be published in the most influential regional and international media. In addition, the top three articles will receive awards.
The application form, guidelines and further information about the Fellowship are available online at https://balkaninsight.com/fellowship-for-journalistic-excellence/.
To maximise your chances of winning a place on the programme, read these tips from our editors, based on their experience reviewing hundreds of applications. You can also learn about the programme first-hand from last year’s winners.
