In announcing the award, coordinator, Dr Kris Rampersad said the competition was to create a genre that will give agriculture the status of politics, crime, and business in our newsrooms, and hopefully go towards institutionalism in media operations of the agriculture beat, the agriculture reporter and even the agriculture desk or bureau.
The theme for the awards is: Achieving Food Security in T&T: A National Priority. One winner from each of the categories of print, television, radio, and images (photography, cartoons, drawings) will receive a cash award of US$800. Media organisations carrying the winning entries will receive special recognition.
As an added measure, a Special Citizen Journalism Award is on offer to non-professional journalists of all ages.

“We envision that this exercise will help us understand that agriculture is as sexy as other beats,” said Rampersad. Entries must raise awareness of practices which promote agriculture and related issues: food security and nutrition, support sustainable agriculture, reinforce multi-sectoral linkages, encourage rural communities, youth and women’s development, engender environment land and water management.
