SFA Foundation Africa Science Journalism Awards (ASJA) 2025

The Africa Science Journalism Awards (ASJA) are annual awards organised by the Science for Africa Foundation to recognise excellence in health, science and development reporting across Africa. The programme includes multiple categories with cash prizes and a ceremony, and aims to amplify science coverage on the continent. Submissions should focus on health, climate change and environment, or agriculture, and are open to journalists based in Africa.

Cash prizes for winners in each category; plaques; pitch fee for stories resulting from the engagement.

Submissions must have been published between January 2024 and June 30, 2025. Open to journalists who are citizens or permanent residents of an African country, and who are permanently or primarily resident in Africa. Submissions may be published by local or international outlets, provided they are rooted in the African context.

Submit entries that have been published between January 2024 and June 30, 2025, following the categories and guidelines outlined by the SFA Foundation.
