The world’s leading manufacturer of drinks — yesterday issued the final call for entries to the tenth annual Diageo Africa Business Reporting Awards.
The Awards recognise the achievements of business journalists reporting on the continent and provide a prestigious forum for international recognition of their work.
As a long-term investor in Africa, Diageo believes that improving the quantity and quality of business reporting can play a significant role in generating business interest and increasing inward investment in Africa.
In 2013, ten years on from the Awards’ inception, Africa’s profile as a business and investment destination is higher than ever. The awards are open to all journalists reporting on Africa, in any medium, and of any nationality. Submissions are accepted in English and in French.
Entries will be reviewed by a high-profile judging panel – further details will be announced soon. The shortlisted finalists from each category will be flown to London for the Gala Ceremony in July. Winners will each receive £500 and a specially commissioned sculpture.
The open period for entries has been extended to 22 March in the categories: Best Information and Communication Technology (ICT) feature, Best Finance feature, Best Infrastructure feature, Best Agribusiness/Environment feature, Best Tourism feature, Best Business News story, Best Business feature, Best Newcomer and Media of the Year.
