There's a great opportunity for budding young cricket writers to enter their work for awards in the name of the late and great Christopher Martin-Jenkins.
The details of the competitions are below - I hope that one or two of you are encouraged to enter your work and wish you luck in doing so!
ECB invites entries for the County Cricket Journalism Awards 2013
ECB
is inviting entries from young journalists and regional newspapers for
the County Cricket Journalism Awards 2013 supported by The Times.
The
awards, now in their third year, are designed to recognise outstanding
contributions towards the coverage of domestic cricket during the 2013
county season.
A
new award has been introduced for 2013 – the Christopher Martin-Jenkins
Young Broadcaster of the Year award – to recognize broadcasting
excellence within the domestic county game.
The
Young County Journalist of the Year award will also be re-named after
‘CMJ’ – the former BBC Radio Test Match Special commentator and The
Times cricket correspondent who died earlier this year.
From
this year, The Times will also fund the £5,000 scholarship which is
awarded to the Young Journalist of the Year to report on an overseas
cricket event involving English county teams.
The
three other categories in which awards are made to recognise
outstanding coverage of County cricket are: National Newspaper of the
Year, Regional Newspaper of the Year and Best Online coverage of the
Year.
The
National Newspaper of the Year award and Best Online coverage of the
Year award will be made by a panel of cricket writers and broadcasters
based on their assessment of the season’s coverage in these categories.
Entries
are invited for the Regional Newspaper of the Year Award, the
Christopher Martin-Jenkins Young Broadcaster of the Year and the
Christopher Martin-Jenkins Young Journalist of the Year award.
