CIEE launches award for journalists covering labor transformations

The CIEE (Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola) has initiated its inaugural Prêmio CIEE de Jornalismo, a journalism award designed to honor outstanding reporting on the evolving landscape of work. This initiative aims to stimulate in-depth coverage of critical issues shaping the contemporary labor market.

The award specifically encourages journalists to explore themes such as the integration of young people into the workforce, the growing problem of labor shortages, and the pervasive issue of ageism. It acknowledges the complex challenges and dynamic transformations occurring globally and within Brazil's professional sphere.

Submissions are open across four distinct categories: print media, television journalism, web journalism, and radio/podcast. A distinguished jury composed of seasoned professionals from the field will select five finalists in each category. The winners will be revealed at a ceremony scheduled for late October, with each recipient receiving a prize of R$10,000.

To be eligible, journalistic works must have been published between January 1, 2025, and August 31, 2026. The CIEE emphasizes that the award seeks to elevate the standard of journalistic production and foster a broader public discourse on the significant changes that are continually reshaping the Brazilian labor market. The deadline for entries is August 31, 2026, with applications accepted through the official award website.
