The Axel-Springer-Preis is an annually awarded prize. The Award is given to young journalists in the categories Print Journalism, TV Journalism, Radio Journalism and Online Journalism due to the decisions of the Axel-Springer-Akademie.

History

The prize was awarded for the first time in 1991. It is named after the founder and owner of today's Axel Springer AG, publisher Axel Springer (1912-1985). The award ceremony will take place on his birthday, May 2, in Berlin annually. Meanwhile, the modalities of the price has been changed and updated. In 1999 no award ceremony took place. Since 2001, an award is presented in four categories: Press, Radio, Television and the Internet.

Prize money

From the prize givers of the Axel-Springer-Akademie, a prize of 54,000 Euro is total awarded. The award comes in the print category with 6000 euros for each best work in three different categories (three 1st prizes). In the remaining three categories of television, radio and the Internet three prizes in each category will be awarded, each with 6000 € (1st prize), 4000 € (2nd prizes) and 2000 € (3rd prices).
