The 26th GJA Awards will be held on this Saturday, November 12, 2022, at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra.
The theme for this year’s Awards is: “Walking The Path Towards Ghana’s Economic Recovery: The Role Of The Media”.
Speaking at the Press Conference, Mrs Yaa Oforiwaa Asare-Peasah, this year, the total number of entries was 137 as the numbers of the categories were reduced.
However, she said some of the entries had issues including wrong categorisation, poor organisation of content, poor quality of presentation such as scanning of photocopied materials making reading totally impossible and were therefore not considered at all.
Other challenges she mentioned were running videos without audio, disjointed sentences, and an incoherent flow of ideas.
She said some of the entries were disqualified because, although some of them were winning materials, the people who made them were non-members or members not in good standing.
According to her, some of the submitted entries also did not meet the criteria for winning the GJA Awards, pointing to the columnist of the year.
Despite the hiccups, Mrs Yaa Oforiwaa Asare-Peasah said the Committee Members were equal to the task and delivered on schedule.
“It is worth noting that those selected for the awards did their best to get what was deserving,” she said.
Meanwhile, below are the winners of the awards.
