Journalists and media organisations in Latin America and the Caribbean have until 28 February 2006 to submit entries for one of the most prestigious journalism prizes in the region. The Awards for Best Investigative Reporting on Corruption in Latin America and the Caribbean honour the best exposés published or broadcast in 2005.

Administered by the Institute for Press and Society (Instituto Prensa y Sociedad, IPYS) and Transparency International, the competition is open to journalists working in print, radio, television or online. The awards are underwritten by the Open Society Institute.

An international jury of eminent journalists will select a winner and two runners-up in May 2006. The winner receives a cash prize of US$25,000, while runners-up each receive cash prizes worth US$5,000.
