Congratulations! Podium nominees for all categories of the AIPS Sport Media Awards

LAUSANNE, May 23, 2022 – In less than a month the winners of the fourth edition of the AIPS Sport Media Awards will be crowned in Doha, Qatar. With preparations for a memorable event in full swing, AIPS is honoured to announce the Top 3 in each category.

After the submission window closed in November 2021, 1732 entries began the intense race for a place on the podium and were thoroughly screened across different judging stages. Now there are 33.

The members of the Jury will meet the day before the ceremony to determine the final positions of these nominees.  

Winners of each senior category will receive US$ 8,000 (1st prize), US$ 3,000 (2nd prize) and US$ 2,000 (3rd prize). The three Young Reporters categories (Photography, Writing and Broadcasting) will have one winner each and they will receive a scholarship to a major international sports event.

The magnificent Khalifa International Stadium will provide the stage for the much-anticipated celebration of incredible sports storytelling in all its forms. Special Awards, including A Life in Sport and Investigative Reporting, will be announced during the final ceremony.
