Citi invites entries for journalistic excellence award 2019

Citibank India is inviting applications from journalists for the fifth edition of ‘Citi Journalistic Excellence Award 2019,’ an initiative that honours excellence in business and financial journalism.

We consider this to be an excellent opportunity for all our media friends to get their work known and appreciated.

The winners get the opportunity to attend a five-day workshop on the principles of business and finance in New York, administered by the prestigious Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Citibank India will sponsor the scholarship for the selected recipients, including travel and incidental costs to attend the workshop in New York.

Interested applicants may participate by submitting an article of 750 words published within the 2018 calendar year. An independent judging panel – made up of senior editors, academics, and/or business leaders – will draw up a shortlist for a final evaluation by the Columbia University.

Journalists may apply till January 18, 2019.

The entry must include:

  • A completed application form (attached)
  • An autobiographical essay of no more than 1,000 words. It should be written in English, describing his/ her journalistic accomplishments and future plans; as well as a paragraph about what s/he hopes to get out of the seminar in New York
  • One headshot photograph
  • An article, with a finance/business/economic focus, of a minimum 750 words, published between January 1 and December 31, 2018 – original. The article should be either in English or translated into English, if published in any regional Indian language.
  • The Editor’s letter authorising attendance to the course at Columbia

Please note, previous award winners, owners and directors of media companies are not eligible.

For any questions and to make an entry, applicants may write to cjea.india@citi.com. Entry requirements and the application form may also be found on Citi India’s website under the ‘about us’ section at Citi Journalistic Excellence Award at www.citibank.co.in.
