The closing date for nominations for the 2014 IPA Freedom to Publish Prize is 6 January 2014.
The Prize will be awarded on 27 March 2014, during the IPA Congress in Bangkok, and the recipient will receive CHF20,000, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the following publishers: Albert Bonniers Förlag, Elsevier, HarperCollins, Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, Kodansha, OUP, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster.*
Nominees can either be publishers who have recently published controversial works in the face of pressure, threats, intimidation or harassment from government or other authorities; or publishers with a long and distinguished history of upholding the values of freedom to publish and freedom of expression.
IPA member organisations, members of the IPA Freedom to Publish Committee, individual publishers, and international professional and non-government organisations working in the field of freedom of expression can nominate candidates for the IPA Freedom to Publish Prize.
Those nominating must explain the reasons behind their choice of candidate in writing (in English, French or Spanish) using the attached form as a template. Nominations should be submitted to the IPA’s Policy Director, José Borghino ([email protected]) no later than close-of-business (Geneva time) on 6 January 2014.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and for supporting this important endeavour in the field of freedom to publish.
