The idw Award for Science Communication:
Informationsdienst Wissenschaft (idw) emphasises quality. One of the ways it promotes this is through the idw Award for Science Communication, which has been awarded annually since 2009. The press offices affiliated with idw can each submit one of their own press releases from the previous year. The jury assesses the submissions according to technical professionalism (quality), outstanding news value (relevance) and scientific significance (originality). Technical professionalism is the most strongly weighted element. Please see the German version of this page for jury details.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd winner will be awarded €2,000, €1,000 and €500 prize money respectively. For the first time, there will also be an unendowed audience award. Take part in this premiere and vote for the one of the 15 press releases that you think is the best!
