"New Cosmetic Surgery" Journalism Prize

The prize with a EUR 3,000 endowment for outstanding reporting on New Cosmetic Surgery will be awarded for the first time on 31 October 2010.

The "New Cosmetic Surgery" Journalism Prize will be awarded by the Clinic DDr. Heinrich for outstanding reporting on New Cosmetic Surgery techniques.

The contribution should be well-researched, with emphasis on general legal requirements and the interdisciplinary aspects of cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is not taught in public hospitals, but in private medical institutions and associations such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. It is open to competent practitioners in any medical specialty worldwide.

New Cosmetic Surgery employs gentle techniques from all branches of medicine (surgery, internal medicine, dermatology) and has thus developed into an interdisciplinary cosmetic and rejuvenation therapy. Main pillars include autologous stem cells, Hormonal Regeneration® with bioidentical hormones, and minimally invasive cosmetic interventions such as microcannular liposuction. The techniques of New Cosmetic Surgery should be presented in layperson's terms.

The contribution must be written in German, English, French, or Spanish, and have been published in a print medium or broadcasted on radio or television for the first time between 1 March 2010 and 30 September 2010. Contributions from electronic media, commentaries, books, and mere news rehashes will not be considered.

Editors and reporters from all nations are eligible. The Clinic DDr. Heinrich Journalism Prize comes with a EUR 3,000 endowment, and will be awarded for a single contribution. The winner will be notified by e-mail.

A closed panel of medical, journalism, and legal experts will choose the winner. The panel reserves the right to exclude individual contributions at its discretion. Panel decisions are binding and may not be appealed.
