CNN MultiChoice extends call for entry
The entry date for the 2014 CNN MultiChoice African Journalist Awards has been extended by one week, bringing the closing date for submitting entries to June 6, 2014.
The extension of the call for entries will provide opportunities for more journalists to submit entries for this year’s awards. The prestigious awards, now in its 19 year, have attracted thousands of entries across the continent, making it one of the biggest media awards in the continent.
The awards represent the very best in journalism from across the African continent, and are truly a highlight in CNN’s editorial calendar.
Two Nigerians emerged winners at the awards last year – Oluwatoyosi Ogunseye of Sunday Punch in the UNICEF-sponsored Environment Category, and Tolu Ogunlesi, a freelance journalist for Ventures Africa, Nigeria, in the Coca-Cola Company, Economics and Biz Awards category. Ogunlesi’s story was an investigative report on the Eko Atlantic City.
