Telco adds 2 more categories to Cebu Media Excellence Awards
GLOBE Telecom is enhancing Cebu Media Excellence Awards (CMEA) that seeks to recognize media professionals who excel in their fields, by introducing two more categories.
Now on its second year, the CMEA added two categories, namely Photo Journalist of the Year, which will be given to the photographer with the entry that best captures an identified social concern and Social Media Advocate of the Year, which will be awarded to the entry with the most relevant and successful advocacy in the social media.
“Photojournalism is an important component in reporting current and relevant events as the images captured not only summarize and enhance the story being told, but more importantly, makes the story more relevant and understandable to the viewer,” said Yoly Crisanto, corporate communications head of Globe.
“On the other hand, digital advocacy tools such as Facebook and Twitter have become a more effective way of getting your message across to a wider range of people and thus effectively engaging your audience in a more compelling way. The Social Media Advocate category is a recognition of that fact,” Crisanto added.
On top of the two new categories, all Cebu-based journalists may submit entries for the following categories—Reporter of the Year for Print, Feature Story of the Year for Print, Feature Story of the Year for TV, Columnist of the Year, Reporter of the Year for TV, Reporter of the Year for Radio and Blogger of the Year.
Entries shall explore and promote the following advocacies: business and entrepreneurship, information and communications technology, environment and disaster response, governance and social progress and youth and education.
Search period for the entries, which may be in English or Visayan language, will be from September 2012 to July 2013, while deadline for submission of entries is July 26.
Participants must complete two entry forms with his/her entry. Entries may be sent to Globe Media Excellence Awards c/o Jerry Yntig, Globe Telecom, Cebu IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City.
