Ivan Marković Journalism Award 2024 is open for entries
Like every year, Media Centre “Odbrana” invites all interested media houses and journalists to apply for the Ivan Marković Journalism Award, which is traditionally awarded for the best media coverage of the activities carried out by the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces.
The award, which aims to encourage journalists to write quality news reports for the domestic print and electronic media, honours the memory of Ivan Marković, one of the most gifted military journalists and editors in the "Vojska" newspaper, who died suddenly in 2003 at the age of 43.
Judges select candidates for the Ivan Marinković Journalism Award, which will be presented in a ceremony to mark January 24 – Media Centre “Odbrana” Day and the anniversary of the military press.
All journalists working for media outlets in the territory of the Republic of Serbia can enter the contest, regardless of their formal status. Organizational units of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces can also send their entries.
