Changes to entry rules
"I am very happy with the overall attendance at the recent road show presentations and there seems to be an increased awareness of and enthusiasm for the Awards," says CEO of the MTN Radio Awards, Lance Rothschild.
"The new category of Field News Reporter was suggested to us and we feel that it will add value and generate some compelling entries for the adjudicators to evaluate."
There have also been some changes to the rules for entry into the awards, with some restrictions being placed on the number of submissions in each category by individuals and stations.
Event sponsorship
Rothschild also called for nominations for additional adjudicators. "With the growth of entries, it is necessary for us to continually evaluate the adjudication panel and to ensure that we have a broad range of skills and knowledge amongst the panel. I'm pleased that we have already managed to recruit some new members to the panel and I hope to have a panel of about 60 adjudicators for 2015," concludes Rothschild.
"At MTN, we are constantly mindful of the vital connection that listeners have with their favourite radio stations," says Larry Annetts, Chief Marketing Officer of MTN South Africa. "Our sponsorship of the Awards is ultimately aimed at enhancing the relationship that stations have with their listeners through focusing radio professionals on doing excellent work. We are looking forward to celebrating another year of excellence in radio across the entire South African broadcast radio spectrum on 18 April 2015, when we announce the winners. I wish all across the entire radio industry the best of luck with their entries."
