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]

Background

[edit]

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.
