The "Grävseminariet" of the Föreningen Grävande Journalister (FGJ - the association of investigative journalists) is the largest and most appreciated conference for Swedish journalists. It brings together media professionals from Sweden and other countries to learn more about investigative journalism and to exchange experiences.
The Grävseminariet has been held since 1989 and attracts between 500 and 700 people each year.
During the seminar, Sweden's most prestigious investigative prize - Guldspaden - will be awarded in a number of categories.
The prize is awarded by the FGJ to journalists working in the Swedish media who, through dedicated and skilful journalism, have uncovered or portrayed important facts that are not known to the general public. The investigation must be original and independently conducted.
An independent jury will judge the entries submitted. The winners will receive a bronze statuette by the artist Mats Lodén.
