The Earth Journalism Awards have become one of the largest media initiatives around Copenhagen and now it is all down to you to determine the final outcome.

0ver 900 registrations from professional and citizen journalists from 148 countries led to 450 submitted applications from more than 100 countries, a good proportion of the governments that will be negotiating in Copenhagen.

We are now down to 15 finalists from just 10 countries.

We are handing over to you the job of selecting the stories that cover, in the most compelling way, the issues you want the negotiators to pay attention to in Copenhagen.

Rest assured that we will be working hard to get as many of the negotiators in the room to hear the global public verdict on the most important climate change story. And making sure that they know all about it less than 24 hours before the final three day endgame negotiations begin. This is your chance to get your voice heard in Copenhagen!
