DEADLINE: Canadian Hillman Prize

The Sidney Hillman Foundation awards the Canadian Hillman Prize honors excellence in journalism in service of the common good. The Hillman Prizes seek out investigative reporting that draws attention to social or economic injustice and leads to meaningful public policy change. We strive to recognize discernment of a significant news story, resourcefulness and courage in reporting, skill in relating the story and the impact of the coverage.

Starting in 2024, the foundation will award three Canadian Hillman Prizes instead of one. The judges will select entries in the following categories: print/digital, broadcast (tv, radio, podcast) and local/community news.  Entries must have been published in Canada in 2023 and have been widely accessible to a Canadian audience. Self-published work is not eligible. No entry fee. Deadline: Jan 15, 2024.

The Canadian Hillman Prize winners will be awarded a $2,500 honorarium and a certificate at our celebration in Toronto, to be held on April 4, as well as travel to New York City to be a guest at the U.S Hillman Prize ceremony on May 7.
