“The IJ4EU Impact Award 2026, managed by the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF), will once again shine a spotlight on cross-border investigations that make a real difference in Europe. Each year, an independent expert jury selects three outstanding investigations, awarding €5,000 to each winner. The winners are announced at the IJ4EU UNCOVERED Conference each autumn, a key event for Europe’s investigative journalism community.” Nominations are open February 26 through April 23, 2026.
