Property journ awards entries up
There have been a record number of entries to the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) Property Journalism Awards and the number of categories has been expanded from three to four. The annual awards recognise journalists who make an outstanding contribution to the analysis, investigation and reporting of news and trends in the SA property market.
The 34 entries represent a 60% increase on last year's submissions and winners will be announced at the annual SAPOA Convention taking place at the International Convention Centre in Durban, 3 - 5 June 2009.
The awards, which are sponsored by Pace Property Group, feature four categories - Best Property News Journalist, Best Property Feature Journalist, Best Property Publication and the new Best Property Radio Interview. The pool of eligible entrants has also been widened.
"Members of the judging panel have been chosen on the basis of their ability to provide fresh perspectives and insight," says SAPOA CEO Neil Gopal. The panel features a number of property professionals across a range of disciplines, including Leon Allison of Macquarie First South Securities and Brian Azizollahoff of Redefine Income Fund from the listed property sector; David Green of Pace Property Group, Kgaogelo Mamabolo of Liberty Properties and TC Chetty of TC Chetty & Associates from the property management, asset management and development sectors; Kathryn Payton of Marketing Concepts; and Cecilia Russell from The Star marketing and media sectors.
Says sponsor Pace Property Group MD David Green, "In addition to the increased numbers of entries, I'm also delighted that the quality of the entries is again of a very high standard, reflecting the talented and dedicated media who report on the property sector. Again, the awards reflect a very competitive pool of entrants."
Previous winners for the SAPOA 2008 Property Journalism Awards include Nick Wilson of Business Day (SAPOA Property News Journalist), Joan Muller of FinWeek (SAPOA Property Feature Journalist Award) and The Property Magazine, published by Media Nova (SAPOA Property Publication of the year).
