The Nick Clarke Award is a journalism prize created by the BBC in honour of Nick Clarke, former presenter of BBC Radio 4's The World At One , who died in November 2006. Its aim is to "celebrate and recognise the best broadcast interview of the year". [1]
The Nick Clarke Award was launched by then Radio 4 Controller Mark Damazer at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in October 2007. [1] It is presented at the festival each year, the inaugural prize being awarded in October 2008. [2] The Panellists and judges of the Nick Clarke Award come from the BBC and other media and broadcast organisations. [1] As part of the award, the winner receives a case of claret, a favourite tipple of Clarke's.
A shortlist was published in 2016 [11] but the website, as of 2018, hasn't been updated.
