The 2007 awards will be adjudicated based on work produced between 1 August 2006 and 31 July 2007.
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 prizes carry a prize of R2000 each.
All individuals are invited to submit their work or nominate others' work, including editors, managers, colleagues and the panel of judges themselves.
The awards will take place in Johannesburg on Thursday 11 October.
