Entries to 2018 RDMAs are officially open
Entries into the 2018 Responsible Drinking Media Awards (RDMAs) are now open and Diageo is calling on all members of the South African media to enter. The RDMAs, is in its eighth year running and recognises journalists and media for their efforts to positively influence perceptions and habits related to the irresponsible use of alcohol.
The awards are open to all South African media who have generated responsible drinking content that talks to the impact of alcohol abuse, including issues such as drink driving, underage drinking, foetal alcohol syndrome, binge drinking and alcohol-related violence. Any material published between 1 August 2017 and 31 July 2018 on any media platform that aims to support this cause is eligible to enter the 2018 awards and win a prize.
‘The RDMAs have become an entrenched part of the Diageo calendar. The increasing number of entries each year, show that there are members of the media who have decided that the abuse of alcohol is a societal issue and one that must be tackled head-on,’ said Sibani Mngadi, Corporate Relations Director of Diageo SA.
The 2018 awards will be categorised and split across Best Magazine, Best Newspaper, Best Online, Best Radio, Best TV and Best Up & Coming, with two overarching awards for Journalist of the Year and Media House of the Year. The winner of each category will walk away with R15000 and the Journalist of the Year will double up to win R30 000. This, coupled with a public acknowledgment for their efforts to help combat alcohol abuse in South Africa, makes the awards an absolute must to enter.
‘Every single entry we receive is testimony to the fact that the media continue to play such an important role in education and engendering social change,’ said Mngadi.
For more information on the awards and how to enter, journalists can visit https://diageordma.co.za/ . Entries are open until 31 July 2018 and can either be submitted online or by downloading an entry form and sending it to info@diageordma.co.za.
