#IndexAwards2019 nominee profile
#IndexAwards2019 shortlist

We are delighted to announce that CRNI is one of a quartet of international campaigning organizations selected in this year’s shortlist, drawn from more than four hundred crowdsourced nominations.

“Free speech is the cornerstone of a free society – and it’s under increasing threat worldwide. That’s why it’s more important than ever to recognise the groups and individuals willing to stand up for it”

Jodie Ginsberg, CEO, Index on Censorship

Full details of all fifteen nominees across four categories can be found in Index on Censorship’s release to the media (below). Winners will be announced in April and thereafter enter a fellowship program with support and training provided throughout the following year.

It’s worth noting that this is not the first time Index on Censorship have shortlisted a name from the world of cartooning. In 2017 the exiled Chinese cartoonist Rebel Pepper was made a fellow in recognition of his satirical art.

Look for more announcements about the forthcoming Freedom of Expression Awards on their dedicated webpage and via Index on Censorship’s social media.

“We’re enormously grateful to the team at Index on Censorship and the distinguished judging panel for this high compliment. It’s extremely humbling to be listed alongside so many truly courageous artists, journalists and other frontline defenders of freedom of expression. If our work is of any value at all it’s because of all the wonderful people who’ve sat on our board of directors and advisors over the last two decades, our small but diligent staff – especially those who’ve worked on a voluntary basis – and the many cartoonists who’ve served as regional representatives around the world. Most especially this nomination and selection recognises our founder and director, Dr. Robert Russell.”

Terry Anderson, deputy executive director, CRNI
