Redkollegia

Redkollegia operates with the Founder's aim of providing monthly monetary incentives to Russian journalists who have exhibited exceptional expertise, civic duty, and individual bravery while fulfilling their professional obligations. Redkollegia takes on the responsibility of proposing nominees for the prizes. The Monthly Prize can be suggested to be granted to a single candidate in full or distributed among multiple candidates.[5]

Redkollegia is awarded to a specific author or group of authors for a specific journalistic text (investigation, reportage or interview) published in any available way: in the media, on a personal website, on a social network. The main selection criterion is a high professional level of the text. The audience and the number of readings do not matter. The minimum prize is two thousand dollars.[6]
