Siemens has announced the launch of the Siemens Media Award 2026, a regional competition recognising outstanding journalists and digital content creators across Central and Eastern Europe, plus Israel and Kazakhstan. The award celebrates media professionals who produce high-quality coverage on the theme “Technology with Purpose,” highlighting the role of technology in everyday life.
The competition spans nine countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Austria, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Hungary, along with Israel and Kazakhstan. Eligible participants include traditional journalists from print, radio, television, and news portals, as well as modern content creators such as bloggers, YouTubers, and social media influencers. Submissions must cover the designated theme and have been published between March 1, 2025, and February 28, 2026.
An international jury will evaluate entries and select the five best submissions, who will advance directly to the finals. The finale takes place in Budapest, Hungary, in May 2026. Winners receive a comprehensive prize package including travel arrangements, hotel accommodation, a guided tour of the renowned Törley Sparkling Wine Museum, and participation in the official award ceremony.
Interested participants can submit their work via email to presse.at@siemens.com by the deadline of March 16, 2026. The award represents a significant opportunity for media creators to gain recognition for their work while engaging with peers across multiple countries in a competitive yet collaborative environment.
