Sönmez was honored for a picture in which he photographed a student being silenced by Energy Minister Taner Yıldız’s bodyguards during a protest at Ankara’s Gazi University.

Ziflioğlu was recognized for her story regarding the murder of a Catholic bishop in the Mediterranean district of İskenderun. Ziflioğlu’s report said the investigations into his death could not be advanced any further due to a lack of support from the dead cleric’s family, based on the views of a lawyer involved in the case.
