ACHEMA Media Award 2021 - Looking for journalistic coverage of science and technology

Hearts made from spinach, humans on chips and “no place for liquid manure” - those are the topics  the last winners of the ACHEMA Media Prize covered in their award-winning contributions. Informative and well-researched journalistic articles are the essential basis for presenting science and technology to society in a way that is transparent and can be experienced in everyday life. DECHEMA Gesellschaft für Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V., which has been awarding the prize every three years since 1997, is aware of this fact.

The ACHEMA Media Prize focuses on chemistry, process engineering and biotechnology, but also on related topics such as environmental technology.  For the first time three contributions will be awarded: The main prize is endowed with 10,000 euros. Second place is worth 5,000 euros, and the author of the third-place entry receives 3,000 euros. The ACHEMA Media Prize will be awarded during ACHEMA 2021. This world-leading show for processes and equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries will take place in Frankfurt am Main / Germany from June 14-18, 2021.

Submissions from print media, television, radio or online media (as text, videocast or podcast etc.) can be submitted until 15 January 2021. They should have been published between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020. The ACHEMA Media Prize is awarded by the DECHEMA Executive Board on the recommendation of a jury consisting of representatives from industry, universities and the media.
