Annual awards honoring outstanding science-based reporting on antimicrobial resistance, with prizes in four regions including Africa. Deadline: October 15, 2026.

The Global AMR Media Awards, hosted by the Global AMR Media Alliance (over 300 media members from 33 countries), recognize journalists, bloggers, podcasters, broadcasters and social media creators who make the invisible threat of AMR visible through investigative reports, features, photo stories and other impactful communications. AMR contributes to nearly 5 million deaths annually and ranks among the top ten global health threats, making this highly relevant to Ugandan health reporters covering drug-resistant infections, prescribing practices and infection control. Regional prizes ensure African entries compete against peers rather than a single global field. Multiple entries permitted and judged separately. Winners announced during an online ceremony ahead of World AMR Awareness Week in November 2026.

Eligibility

Open to all journalists and other media actors worldwide, including non-GAMA members; eligible content must have been published or broadcast between March 1 and October 15, 2026. Non-English entries need English translations.

How to apply

Complete the official entry form on amrmedia.org, upload proof of publication/broadcast and accessible audio/video files before October 15, 2026.
