The DIG Awards, DIG's international competition that rewards the best audio and video investigative products and funds a video investigation in the making, are back.

The DIG Awards 2023 will be presented at the ninth DIG Festival, scheduled in Modena from 21 to 24 September 2023.

Evaluating and awarding the competing projects will, as always, be the international jury of DIGmade up of leading journalists and some of the most important international broadcasters.

As every year, DIG offers several competition categories.

For video products, these are based on the content characteristics of the projects and their duration and are: 'Investigative Long', 'Investigative Medium', "Reportage Long", "Reportage Medium" and 'Shorts'.

For audio products, such as podcasts and radio surveys, on the other hand, the category "Audio".

The deadline for submitting applications has been extended to 22 June 2023 at 23:59 (CET).

"DIG Pitch", on the other hand, is the competition category dedicated to video projects that are in the implementation phase or have not yet been completed or realised, for which DIG is offering a prize of up to 15,000 euros for the production of a documentary. In this case there is time until 15 July 2023 to submit applications.
