Senior officials of the company confirmed in Lagos yesterday that they have received several entries on the dedicated website for the awards http://quillawards.promasidor-ng.com/from many journalists across the country.
The Promasidor Quill Awards cover five categories: Brand Advocate of the year, Best CSR Report of the year, Most Educative Report of the year, Best Report on Nutrition and the Best Photo Story of the year.
These categories had been carefully thought-out to accommodate most journalists in the country. Unlike other awards, entry for the ‘Promasidor Quill Awards’ is being done on an e-platform. That is, it is being done strictly using the internet so as to avoid difficulties in submitting entries.
This will give interested participants equal opportunity to participate in the awards and also there will be no case of lost entries as each participant will receive an immediate response after submitting his or her entry.
Mr. Andrew Enahoro, Head Legal and PR, Promasidor Nigeria Limited had at a press conference in Lagos recently declared that journalists can now enter for the competition through its website.
He said the panel of judges will consist of a representative from Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), an academia and a veteran journalist.
In the same vein, Mr. Ayodele Oguntubi, Coordinator Corporate Affairs, Promasidor Nigeria said journalists were entitled to one entry per category.
“Interested journalists can only submit one entry per category, except the Brand Advocate category where we will do the collation ourselves with the help of our agency. It will be required that a scanned copy of the story in print and a Microsoft word copy of the story be submitted for legibility,” Oguntubi said.
Winners in each category will get an opportunity to do a course at Lagos Business School (LBS), a high-end laptop, a high-end camera for the photojournalist, and all Promasidor products.
The ‘Promasidor Quill Awards’ is a platform in Nigeria to reward journalists for dedicated news reportage on Industry, Education, Corporate Social Responsibility & Nutrition issues all year round.
