ICL Journalism Award to distribute R$70,000 for reports on fuel markets

The ICL Journalism Award is set to distribute R$70,000 to honor outstanding reports focused on Brazil's fuel and lubricant markets. This initiative aims to recognize journalistic work that delves into critical aspects of the sector, including the fight against organized crime, fraud within the supply chain, the promotion of fair competition, and ensuring energy security.

Journalists have until October 30 to submit their entries. The award welcomes reports published between October 1, 2025, and October 30, 2026. Eligible content can be featured in television, radio, print media, and digital platforms. Both individual and co-authored works (up to two authors) are accepted, with no limit on the number of submissions per journalist, provided each work is sent separately.

The award, organized by ICL (Instituto Combustível Legal), features three distinct categories. The 'Série' category is for investigative reporting series, 'Nacional' is for works published in nationally distributed media, and 'Regional' recognizes productions with local or regional reach. A total of R$70,000 will be awarded: R$30,000 for the winner of the 'Série' category, R$20,000 for the 'Nacional' winner, and R$10,000 for each of the two 'Regional' category winners.

Interested journalists can submit their applications through the award's official website, where the complete regulations and further information are also available. The Instituto Combustível Legal is dedicated to promoting transparency and ethical practices within Brazil's fuel market.
