The Axel Springer Academy SCOOP idea contest
One major concern of the Axel Springer Academy is the support of journalistic excellence and creativity. An important project in this context is the SCOOP idea contest. Always wanted: New media projects of whatever type that distinguish themselves through creativity and originality. It's not important which media type or publication frequency – it's the journalistic idea that counts. Axel Springer funds the winning idea with up to 500,000 euros and gives widespread support to the project.
