The AIPS Sport Media Awards 2024 are currently receiving submissions from around the world. With just a few weeks to deadline, we’d like to remind you to select and submit your work as soon as possible.
In six years, the Awards have received works from 165 countries. The seventh edition will have its final ceremony in Morocco in 2025.
These Awards are not just the global prize for sports journalism, but also an excellent opportunity for networking, with the creation of the special mentions, the continental rankings and several AIPS programmes tailored for the best performing individuals.
Here’s how to join, for free and in any language.
1) Create an account at the AIPS Sport Media Awards website: https://aipsawards.com/sma/register
2) Log-in with your email address and password: https://aipsawards.com/sma/
3) Fill the section «My Profile» with your personal details.
4) Click on «Add Submissions». Fill Part 1 «Your Submission». Select the Category and (if applicable) Sub Category of your first submission. Write the title and describe it in less than 1000 characters. You can explain why it is relevant, the difficulties you’ve faced, or the effect your work produced.
5) Fill now Part 2 «Files and Data». Upload a link, a file, or both, depending on the category. It can be a PDF or Word for written articles, JPG for photography, or a video or audio file. (For Photography Portfolio, you will have to upload three to five pictures one by one). You can also submit links, as long as they are not behind a paywall. If they are behind a paywall, make sure to upload a PDF of the full article.
6) Select if your submission is in English (Yes/No). If it is not in English, please specify the language, which is vital for proper judging. Remember that submissions can be in any language. It is advisable but not compulsory to submit an English translation.
7) Specify the name of the media the submission was published/broadcast and write the publication date. Remember: all submissions need to be works that were first published/broadcast between November 5, 2022, and November 4, 2023.
8) Select Yes/No if the date of publication is visible in your file/link.
9) If you need to provide proof of publication (ie, a PDF, magazine cover, screenshots, etc), you have a separate area to upload your supporting documents/links. This same area applies in the case you want to send an English translation, or transcript of your audio/video files in the original language.
10) If you are ready, you can select Submit. If you want to make changes in a submission, go to «My Submissions». You can delete, add or change at any time.
If your first submission was for category Young Reporter Under 30, please notice that your second submission has to be in any of the other categories (Writing, Photography, Video, Audio). Only one Young Reporter submission per person is allowed.
If you want to make a second submission, go to «Add Submissions» (Step 4) and repeat the process.
That’s it!
