The 12th Bright Leaf Agriculture Journalism Awards is now open to journalists with the most important and outstanding agricultural news stories.

Spearheaded by Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corp (PMFTC), the award aims to raise the discourse of critical agriculture issues as well as celebrate the best photographs that captured the spirit of Philippine agriculture in a single frame.

“As one of the pioneer award-giving bodies in agriculture journalism, Bright Leaf continues to honor and give due recognition to journalists and photographers who are behind the stories that pay tribute to the struggles and successes of our country’s farmers and producers. They are the brave messengers who bring to public attention the importance of agriculture in our everyday lives,” PMFTC external affairs director Bayen Elero-Tinga said.
