Text from the web:

The Tyee is again accepting applications for its reader-funded Fellowships
in Investigative or Solutions Reporting. Five Tyee Fellowships worth $5,000
each will be awarded to independent journalists wishing to pursue in-depth
reporting on a topic that educates and engages citizens on an issue
important to British Columbians.

The entry deadline is Nov. 15, 2012. Applications will be judged by an
independent
advisory board <http://thetyee.ca/About/IndependentAdvisoryBoard/> who will
share only the winning entries with Tyee editors. Winners will be announced
in Jan. 2013. The resulting series -- each consisting of three or more
articles of at least 1,000 words each -- will be published on The Tyee, and
made available to other publications pending approval by the authors.

*Do you have what it takes?*

You don't have to be a trained or practicing journalist to receive a Tyee
Fellowship, but you do need to demonstrate you can do rigorous, in-depth
journalism. Solid writing and reporting skills are a must. Multimedia
elements including video, audio or photographs are encouraged but not
required.

While the reporting must relate directly to B.C., there are no restrictions
on subject matter, which may include education, the environment, human
rights, economics, worker safety, health, addiction, gender and sexuality,
poverty, government, consumer ethics, etc.
