VGs artikkelserie fra i fjor om overgrepene i idretten, er med i finaleheatet i AIPS Awards, der vinneren blir kåret i mai.

Artikkelserien gikk til topps i den norske kåringen i fjor og ble presentert på den store sportsjournalist-konferansen i Bergen i september.

Konkurransen på verdensbasis er tøff der hele 173 nasjoner har sendt inn bidrag. Men prosjektet viser fram journalistikk om sport på sitt beste.

Også to norske fotografer er med videre: Odd Andersen og Vegard Trøtt.

Her er det store finaleheatet som etterhvert skal skrumpes ned til ti, så til tre finalister.

Vi minner om at Dagbladet vant denne kåringen i fjor!

Her er oversikten fra AIPS:

The AIPS Sport Media Awards are pleased to announce the shortlist for the Writing Best Colour Piece category.
