Stories must have been first published or broadcasted during 2023. A portfolio should include 3-5 stories. Each story may have a run time up to about 15 minutes.

The portfolio must be the principal work of an individual photojournalist who shot most of the content (video and/or still photographs). The stories may be produced and edited by additional people.

A portfolio may be a mix of linear (video) stories and non-linear (user experience) online stories.
