Applications Close For The 2024 Vickie Remoe Prize

The application period for the 2024 Vickie Remoe Prize has officially closed!

This year, we received a total number of 36 submissions across four categories, including News Writing (15), Photojournalism (5), Broadcasting (4), and Content Creation (12).

The Vickie Remoe Prize Board is now reviewing each submission, carefully considering the impact of your work. Thank you to everyone who applied for this year’s prize.

Winners will be selected and announced in April by a panel of judges who are Sierra Leonean professionals in news media and talent development. In each category, the number of prizes will be split between male (s) and female (s) applicants. If no man or woman submits a finalist application in one or more categories, the prize will roll over to the next year. The maximum prize amount to be awarded for 2023-2024 is nLe. 200,000.

Once again, thank you for your participation in the 2023-2024 Vickie Remoe Prize. We look forward to celebrating the winners’ achievements with you in the coming weeks.
