On Friday, the North West Media Awards announced the list of nominees nominated by their followers at Vogue Lodge in Tlhabane, Rustenburg.
It is said that the awards will be hosted in Bojanala for the next three years, as Bojanala is part of the tourism attraction to interprovincial and people from outside the country.
Out of 15 categories, only six will be judged by the panel of organisers, while the public will vote for the remainder of categories.
The North West Media Awards has 132 nominees competing in different categories, such as Journalist of the Year, Radio Presenter of the Year, Communicator of the Year Newsletter of the Year and a couple of others.
Mo Media, which is less than a year old in the publishing business, was also nominated in the Newspaper of the Year category. Our regular contributor and journalist, Nombulelo has been nominated in the Journalist of the Year category.
The North West Media Awards is thrilled to unveil the impressive nominees for this year's highly anticipated event. The awards ceremony celebrates excellence and innovation across the various faces of media, showcasing the outstanding talents that have captivated audiences and pushed the boundaries of creative expression.
The nominees for the Awards encompass a diverse array of categories, spanning from journalism, photography and communication to digital storytelling and broadcast excellence. Each nominee represents a unique voice, a distinctive perspective and a dedication to making a meaningful impact through their work.
"This year's nominees truly embody the spirit of creativity and dedication that the North West Media Awards aim to celebrate," said Ananias Ndlovu, the founder of North West Media Awards.
He further said they are in a world of incredible talent and passion demonstrated by individuals and organisations, and they were looking forward to shining a spotlight on the journalists' remarkable contributions.
This announcement is a testament to the power of media at large in shaping society and driving communication on important issues. These have harnessed the power of storytelling to engage, educate, and inspire many, leaving an indelible mark in the community, said Ndlovu.
The winners will be announced at a main event that will take place on December 8, where the impact of media on people's lives will be celebrated.
