Call to enter SAB's green journo awards

Entries for the 20th SAB Environmental Journalists of the Year Awards close on 1 September 2008. Over the past 19 years, these awards have been established as one of the most prestigious awards for journalists covering crucial developments in the environmental arena.

These awards focus on the entire spectrum of “green” and “brown” issues. Green issues address natural or ecological matters. Brown issues focus more on cities and urban concerns such as waste in our streets, polluted air etc.

Each of the three awards carries a cash prize of R15 000 and a trophy. They are print and Internet (includes all newspapers, magazines and websites as well as photography); radio and television (includes all broadcast media as well as independent filmmakers and production houses) and the Nick Steele Memorial Award, which for the second year is being given to the Environmentalist of the Year. Merit awards carry a prize of R2 000 each.

All individuals are invited to submit their work or nominate others' work, including editors, managers, colleagues and the panel of judges themselves. The 2008 awards will be adjudicated based on work produced between 1 August 2007 and 29 July 2008.

The awards will take place in Johannesburg on Wednesday 8 October. For more information about the awards and to download an entry form, go to www.sabenvironment.co.za.
