Brazil's Abecip Journalism Prize Opens 2026 Submissions

Journalists across Brazil have until August 31 to submit their entries for the 23rd Abecip Journalism Prize 2026. The award, organized by the Brazilian Association of Real Estate Credit and Savings Entities (Abecip), seeks to honor outstanding work in the field.

Eligible reports must have been published between September 6, 2025, and August 31, 2026. The prize focuses on key areas including real estate credit, housing, the property market, the sector's digitalization, and the effects of climate change on urban environments.

The competition features four distinct categories: Real Estate Credit and Public Policies; Costs, Housing Prices, and Funding for Real Estate Credit; Legal Security, Digitalization, and Efficiency in Real Estate Credit Contracting; and ESG. Each submission can only be entered into one category. Up to eight entries will be awarded R$8,000 each. A special category will also recognize the most outstanding work with a R$10,000 prize, alongside a trophy and certificate.

A panel of seven specialists and journalists will judge the submissions. They will evaluate entries based on criteria such as innovation, originality, approach, scope, and critical contribution. Interested journalists can submit their work through a form available online.
