Open Grant Call for Belgian and Dutch Journalists

• Eligibility Criteria:
  – The applicant must be a journalist (written or audio-visual press), or be able to prove that he/she is aspiring to a career in journalism. Personal references and/or references to earlier work are essential in that respect.
  – Teams of at least one journalist from Belgium and one from the Netherlands are eligible. If relevant to the story, team members from elsewhere may also be accepted.
  – Projects with regard to investigative and special journalism must deal with topics that are relevant for the Flanders.
  – The project must be published in a Dutch-language medium in Belgium. A letter of intent for publication from at least one professional news outlet is required for journalists with more than 2 years of experience. For starters this is considered a plus. Both beginning (starters) and experienced journalist (seniors) can submit a project that cannot be realised through the normal channels of journalism, that has major news value and depth and that is also original, innovative and time-consuming.
  – All journalistic end products qualify for a grant: newspaper and magazine articles, radio and television documentaries and series, photo-reportages and books, podcasts and journalistic non-fiction books.
