Submitted works must be published or broadcast between March 1, 2009 and April 1, 2010.

Articles or broadcasts can be submitted in English, French, Spanish, Russian or Portuguese. Works not originally published or broadcast in one of these languages must be translated into one of the five competition languages.

Seven prizes will be awarded:
