In a statement issued by the management of the company in
Lagos, the company's Head of Legal and Public Relations, Mr. Andrew Enahoro,
disclosed that with barely a week left for the entries to close, journalists
working with national and regional newspapers in the country are still rushing
in their entries on a daily basis.
He noted that the trend of the entries received and uploaded
since January 29 2015, when the call for entries opened shows that journalists
have keen interest in the seven award categories which are Brand Advocate of
the year; CSR/Industry Report of the year; Best Photo story of the year; Best
Report on Nutrition; Best Report on Children; Education Reporter of the year;
and Future Writer of the year.
Enahoro said: "For each of the categories, a winner
will emerge. Winners from each of the categories with the exception of the
winner of the Best Photo Story of the Year will be given high-end laptops while
the winner of the Best Photo Story of the Year will be given a high-end camera.
The overall winner of all categories will proceed on a four-week certificate
course in Journalism at the highly acclaimed Thompson Foundation in the U.K.
According to him, participants should endeavour to specify
clearly the award category entered for when filling the online form, adding
that awards for all categories will be based on creativity, accuracy of facts,
educational value, in-depth of research and analysis, quality of information,
and newsworthiness.
Enahoro said based on the high number of entries received,
the judges have started assessment. He therefore advised journalists with
stories published between May 2014 and April 2015, who have not submitted their
entries to do so before the deadline on April 30, 2015.
