Call for entries for 2004 Sanlam Community Press Awards

The Sanlam Awards for Community Press is aimed at encouraging excellence and rewarding meritorious work for all community newspapers. Full-time editors, journalists, photographers, subs, advertising representatives and DTP operators from all Southern African community newspapers, which are not published more than twice a week, qualify for the awards.

Sanlam took over the sponsorship of the community press (at the time, also referred to as country newspapers) from the KWV in 1991. From humble beginnings, the competition was expanded over time to cover not only journalism but also photography, typography and advertisements.

The competition covers the following categories: Newspaper of the Year / Cronwright and Hultzer trophies; New (Emerging) Publishers; Writing; Photography; Front Pages; Advertisements. Each category also has various sections for entries.

The closing date for entries is 28 June 2004. A copy of the entry kit will also be available on the Sanlam website at www.sanlam.co.za from 7 June 2004.
