Call for entrants to major business writer awards

Business journalists could be rubbing shoulders with comedian Lee Hurst, who is the guest of honour at this year’s Yorkshire Bank Northern Business Journalist of the Year Awards dinner.

Business journalists and editors based between the Trent and the Scottish border can enter any or all of the six categories:

  • Newspaper of the Year
  • Magazine of the Year
  • Daily Newspaper Journalist of the Year
  • Weekly Newspaper Journalist of the Year
  • Magazine Journalist of the Year
  • Broadcast Journalist of the Year

    The prize for the winners of each of the four categories for individuals will be £800.

    The dinner will be at the Royal Station Hotel, Newcastle, on Thursday November 15.

    Entrants to the awards will be invited to the complimentary dinner, but the closing date for entries is Friday September 28.

    Yorkshire Bank chief executive Stuart Grimshaw said: “We’re delighted to be able to confirm that Lee Hurst will be joining us in Newcastle at the awards dinner and I am looking forward to an evening with many of the north’s business journalists.

    “We would, though, reiterate that the closing date for entries is now looming. It would be a great shame if any eligible journalist missed out on the chance to win a prestigious award and a memorable evening because they failed to get their submission to us on time.”

    Registration forms are available from Alexander on 0113 247 2510.
