Marianne Hedenbro, Finalist Sweden, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"Health Journalism is, I believe, one of the most demanding lines of Journalism, but not always appreciated for this. The EU Health Journalist Prize is therefore a most welcome initiative. To be part of the first competition was great fun and a humbling experience to meet so many dedicated colleagues."
Andrea Glos, Finalist Luxembourg, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"I really enjoyed participating in the EU Health Prize for journalists. It was a great initiative of the EU to have brought together journalists who specialise in health. For me, the trip to Brussels was a helpful and interesting oppurtunity to exchange ideas and experiences with colleagues from all over Europe."
Alexia Saoulli, Finalist Cyprus, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
“The EU Health Journalist Prize ceremony was a memorable experience in my career as a journalist. I not only met a lot of interesting people but it helped motivate me to write more in-depth health stories so as to raise awareness in Cyprus about the different health issues faced by Europeans.”
Kaire Talviste, Finalist Estonia, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"For me, the competition was a good opportunity to meet my colleagues in Europe. It was interesting to see how they work, what they are writing about and to collect some new ideas. It is always refreshing to get out of your everyday routine and find new angles in your work."
'Submission time has now ended. National jury meetings are on-going. The names of national finalists will be published late September.
Ilpo Salonen, Finalist Finland, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"The trip to Brussels gave me an exceptional opportunity to meet colleagues from all over Europe and to get the idea of the most topical health issues in different countries. I got the feeling that whenever I may need some help or information from my European colleagues or the Commission I can contact them with ease."
Emilia Chiscop, Finalist Romania, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"The EU Health Prize is a great initiative which motivates journalists to reach higher professional standards and keep writing on health care systems and people who fight against their suffer. It is a great honor for me to have represented Romania and won the third place in the first edition of the EU Health Prize."
The deadline for submission ended. Thanks for all the submissions!
The deadline for submission is extended until 18/07/2010 midnight (CET)
Agnese Codignola, Finalist Italy, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"The EU Prize has been important for me and my work. It has given me the opportunity to learn more about the EU initiatives in the health field, and also to meet many collegues from 27 countries. During the one day we spent together, it was very interesting to exchange opinions and ideas about our work. Furthermore, it was exciting to breathe in the air of the European Commission for one day! A taster? I'm planning to participate again in the 2010 edition...Let’s meet in Brussels!"

"I was delighted to be a finalist in the EU Health Prize for Journalists. It helped raise my professional profile and I thoroughly enjoyed both the trip to Brussels and meeting all the other finalists. It was a real honour and a privilege to be selected."
Mojca Lorenčič, Finalist Slovenia, EU Health Prize for Journalists 2009
"Through the award I met many collegues from other countries and also learned about the situation of journalists in those countries during this difficult time. It seems that there will be fewer and fewer posibilities to do fine journalism, as presented at the health journalists' award."
