Viral fact-checking contest seeks submissions [Worldwide]

 Deadline: JUNE 30, 2017

Journalists and others are invited to submit creative solutions that turn fact-checking into engaging, visual and interactive stories.

The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), with the support of the Craig Newmark Foundation, organizes the TruthBuzz: The Viral Fact-Checking Contest, a challenge that aims to invent new ways to help verified facts reach the widest possible audience.

The contest is accepting entries in any digital format and in all languages. Ideas can take the form of a digital-media creation such as a video, cartoon, graphic, animated GIF, photo, quiz, audio file, game and more.

The top three winners will receive cash prizes of US$10,000, US$5,000 and US$2,500, respectively.

The deadline is June 30.
