The Independent, in association with the Rupert Cornwell Trust, has opened applications for its annual award to honour the memory of one of our longest-serving foreign correspondents, who was one of the most distinguished in the business.
Rupert’s writing was infused with wisdom, marked out by its elegance and an unquenchable curiosity, and these are some of the qualities that we are looking for in the award winner. Vivid reportage and features from Mexico, Albania, Georgia, Canada’s northern territories and the Spanish north African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla show the wide range of proposals that have won the support of the judges in the past.
