Mare Nostrum Awards is the International press award sponsored by the on board magazine Grimaldi Magazine Mare Nostrum and dedicated to the Motorways of the Sea, with the aim to promote this excellent opportunity of exchanges, links and sustainable development of the Mediterranean countries.
The jackpot of the Award amounts every year at 50.000 euros, divided between the first five works classified: every work will receive a prize of 10,000 euros.
On the 10th of December was launched the fifth edition of the Award, which invite to partecipate all part-time reporters and professional journalists, as well as photographers, who have treated and published this topic between the 10th of December and the 31st of July, emphasizing the advantages of these links from an economic, tourist, social and environmental view.
Awards will be assigned to press reports, correspondence, documentaries or radio and television services, photographic reports as well as economic-tourist report investigations realised in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Catalan and Greek languages.
All authors have to reside in Italy, Spain, Greece, Tunisia and Morocco, while the works have to be published in the respective countries through national diffusion newspapers and magazines, transport and tourist journals and magazines, even in the on line version, press agencies, radio and tv stations, photography magazines and exhibitions.
In order to get direct information and experiences useful to prepare their works, all authors interested in the Mare Nostrum Awards will be offered for a round trip on board one of Grimaldi Lines or Minoan Lines vessels, operating between Italy, Spain, Greece, Tunisia and Morocco. The trip must be performed by the 20th of July 2012.
The works will be judged by the International Award Jury, made up by Folco Quilici, writer and film director, and important members of the culture world and journalism.
