Motto 2023: Colourful Münsterland

As a cross-thematic and cross-media award for good journalism from and about the region, the motto of the Media Award 2023 is "Colourful Münsterland". Submissions can be dedicated to very different aspects of Münsterland: the role of the region as a business and science location in the middle of Europe, for example, or the distinctive natural and cultural landscape. Keywords such as variety, future, diversity, community or club life are reflected in the motto and leave room for interpretation.

The entries

The Münsterland Media Award is intended to raise awareness among the region's population of the important social role played by the media and journalism. Critical contributions as well as contributions that focus on the beautiful sides of the Münsterland and its people and particularly highlight them will be awarded.

Furthermore, the competition encourages reporting on topics related to the Münsterland and promotes the region's nationwide media presence. In this way it also fulfils an ambassadorial function for the Münsterland regional brand with the claim MÜNSTERLAND. THE GOOD LIFE. Because the good life in our region is also based on first-class journalism and critical reporting often reminds us to really live the good life.
