This is available in:

English Français Español عربي
Freelance camera operators from around the world are invited to submit entries for the 2009 Rory Peck Awards, which honour the best freelance footage in news and current affairs - especially in regions where it is difficult to operate as a news gatherer. The deadline for entries is 4 September 2009.

Awards will be given in three categories: best coverage of on-the-day news, best feature and best humanitarian footage that has had an international impact or contributed to a change in perception or policy (The Impact Award). Work must have been broadcast between 1 August 2008 and 31 July 2009.
