Nominations for the 3rd annual Science Journalism Awards are open until the end of this week.
The awards celebrate excellent reporting on science-related topics across all forms of media by shining a spotlight on journalists based in Aotearoa or stories published in local outlets.
There are two awards – one for established professionals and one for emerging journalists – to recognise achievement across career stages.
Last year’s finalists included stories on dental dams, cold-water swimming, the psychology of music, and river management.

Any story published or broadcast between 1 April 2025 and 8 March 2026 inclusive is eligible, and journalists are welcome to submit one piece of their own.
