Established in 2004, AICA Award aims to reward those who, through communication campaigns, bring environmental problems to the attention of citizens. Above all, AICA Award recognises the contribution to the creation of an environmental culture and a collective awareness.
This year, the AICA Award is launching its preparatory phase earlier than usual, introducing a new approach. Starting July 10, it will be possible to self-nominate a project or individual involved in environmental communication or journalism.
The three categories open for nomination this year are:
- Communicating Climate Change – Open to journalists and communication professionals who have produced journalistic content on climate change at the national or international level. Eligible submissions include audio, video, and written materials such as podcasts, docufilms, and articles.
- CliCAlp Award – Part of the project led by AICA in collaboration with Volubilis – Euro-Mediterranean Network for Cities and Landscapes. This award is dedicated to journalists and communication professionals who have created local reports on climate change within ALCOTRA territories:
- In Italy: Cuneo and its province
- In France: Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region (departments of Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, and Alpes-Maritimes)
Eligible formats include podcasts, docufilms, and articles.
- Lifetime Achievement Award – Presented to individuals who have devoted their professional lives to environmental communication across various sectors and formats.
