About the award

The “Petar Davidović” journalism award is presented for continuous, professional and affirmative coverage of the Novi Sad Fair’s activities during a fair year.

The Award was established in honor of the late Tanjug journalist and a great friend of the Fair, Petar Davidović. It was first presented in 2002 at the 2nd Media Fair. It recognizes successful coverage of Novi Sad Fair events throughout the year.
