Brighter on its second year

Last year, the Bright Leaf Agriculture Journalism Awards won overwhelming participation from the best of the press: writers, editors, TV reporters, producers, photographers, all of them with a keen sense of how important agriculture is.

The new year signals a new season. Very soon the search will be on for the second Bright Leaf Awards, promising to again yield the finest journalistic works and bring agriculture to the forefront of Filipino consciousness. This year we have a big surprise: we're introducing a new award category to accommodate even more participants.

The second Bright Leaf Agriculture Journalism Awards. It's gonna be bigger. Better. Brighter.

Cultivate the mind. It's the season for bounty.

The search is on once again for agriculture journalism's finest breed - be it in TV, Radio, or Print - with the Philip Morris Bright Leaf Awards.

The contest is open to all professional Filipino journalists residing in the Philippines, 18 years old and above and with a passion for journalistic excellence. All entries, either news or features, must focus on topics related to Agriculture in the Philippines.

Entries should be in English or Filipino. Works in other Philippine regional dialects will also be accepted, provided that the entry is accompanied by a translation in English.
