A week at the Daily Mail and £500 cash are on offer in an annual journalism award aim at ethnic minorities.

The GG2 Leadership and Diversity Awards recognise achievement within ethnic minority communities with a wide range of awards to be presented on 15 September in London.

The awards are now in their 11th year and are organised by the Asian Media and Marketing Group.
