Rory Peck Awards

The Rory Peck Awards highlight the outstanding work of freelance journalists and filmmakers who bring us stories from around the world. 

Freelance reporters, filmmakers, photojournalists, and camera operators play a vital role in covering stories that might otherwise go unreported – and help protect our democratic freedoms by keeping independent journalism alive.

The 28th annual Awards will take place on Wednesday 15th November at BAFTA in London. Join us and showcase your work to an influential international media industry audience – and celebrate the work of your freelance colleagues.
