Dick Scherpenzeel Prijs
The Dick Scherpenzeel Prijs is a Dutch prize that is awarded for journalistic works that present development processes in non-western countries or the North-South conflict in general in a particularly informative way. The award is named after the journalist Dick Scherpenzeel (1923–1973).
The prize is divided into three categories:
| Press award | since 1975 | for works from the print media, radio and television | endowed with 4,454 euros |
| Photo price | since 2000 | for both single photos and reports | endowed with 4,454 euros |
| Student price | since 1997 | endowed with 1,145 euros |
After the prize had not been awarded between 1982 and 1990, the former Minister for Development Cooperation Jan Pronk founded the Dick Scherpenzeel Stichting in 1991 , which has been awarding the prize ever since. The members of the jury are named by the incumbent successor Pronks.
