Celebrating Agricultural Journalism
The Philippine's premiere agriculture journalism awards is once again seeking out the country's best agriculture-themed stories. The second annual Philip Morris' Bright Leaf Agriculture Journalism awards is open to the very best news and feature stories from all over the country. Journalists are invited to submit their works by the May 6, 2008 deadline.
Open to all amateur and professional Filipino journalists who are 18 years old and older, the Bright Leaf Awards recognizes and celebrates the efforts of those who are dedicated to covering one of the country's primary industries. Entries are accepted across a variety of categories. Professional and amateur print journalists are invited to submit their best news and feature articles for contention. A separate category for agriculture-themed photographs is open to the country's photojournalists. Finally, broadcast journalists can submit their most well-reported agriculture stories in the Radio and TV categories. All entries must focus on topics related to agriculture in the Philippines. Submitted works should showcase journalistic talent, passion, and dedication to giving fair and accurate coverage of Philippine agricultural issues. Entries can be in English, Filipino or any Philippine dialect.
The Bright Leaf Awards also aims to promote agricultural development and sustainability in the Philippines.
The first Bright Leaf Awards, which was held last year, drew hundreds of entries and yielded a top-notch roster of winners who continue to influence the field of agriculture journalism.
