This year, the organisers received 143 applications and submitted them to independent experts who formed a shortlist. It included six works in each nomination. Then the jury of the contest determined the winners by selecting the best applications from the shortlist based on fixed criteria; for instance, Telegram channels were evaluated for efficiency and depth of analysis; the articles received from media offices were evaluated for their informational capacity and social significance; TV stories were evaluated for relevance and professionalism of the presentation.
«The transformation of the global energy industry that is taking place before our eyes has raised the profile of experts and journalists who write and talk about the industry. Energy transitions, commodity price hikes, the renaissance of nuclear energy, along with many other topics, require a thorough and in-depth analysis phrased in a language accessible to the mainstream audience. The contest is designed to encourage works that meet these criteria,» said Sergey Brilev, President of the Global Energy Association.
