::: Best International Organised Crime Report

The Best International Organised Crime Report (BIOCR) is a annual prize in partnership with the Ilaria Alpi Television Journalism Award and Novaya Gazeta. It aims at offering the opportunity to international journalists to produce video-enquiries on transnational organised crime and corruption related issues. The BIOCR call for applicants is launched on September every year. Applicants send their enquiry proposals to the organizer. The four best proposals are granted a co-fund in order for the enquiries to be produced. Finally, the four finalists participate at the Ilaria Alpi Television Journalism Award where the BIOCR winner is announced and awarded.
