Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards 2022 shortlist announced
The 2022 shortlist in the Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards has been announced.
Selected from the 360 entries received this year, the ever-popular Features category boasted the most entries, followed by the Community Service Reporting, Columns/Editorial, Hard News, and Investigative Journalism categories.
Unfortunately, there are no shortlisted entries in the new category, Indigenous language reporting in community media (Category 2).
There were no shortlisted entries in Category 8: Popular Journalism, as none of the entries met the category criteria.
SIKUVILE JURY
The shortlist was determined by this year’s jury: Tyrone August, Melanie-Ann Feris, Ryland Fisher, Helen Grange, Pippa Green, Thabo Leshilo, Mapi Mhlangu, Lesley Mofokeng, Ruth Motau, Neo Ntsoma, Sue Olswang, Mary Papayya, Gus Silber, and Beauregard Tromp.
It is noted with much sadness that jury member Phindile Mary Xaba, passed away this Saturday (7 May) following a battle with cancer. SANEF, the Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards team and the jury members send their condolences to the family.
LIVE EVENT
All category winners receive the coveted Sikuvile Journalism Award Trophy, certificate and R15,000 prize money (to be shared if there is more than one winner in a category). Finalists also receive certificates.
Hosted by the South African National Editors’ Forum, SANEF and sponsored by Standard Bank, the Awards will announce all the winners at a live event at The Venue, Melrose Arch, on 25 June 2022.
