Regional journalists have been urged to enter awards recognising business journalism amid plans for a physical ceremony to take place.

The 2021 Headlinemoney Awards is now welcoming submissions for categories including Local/Regional Journalist of the Year.

Last year’s prize was won by Robin Johnson, pictured, who was at the time business editor at the Derby Telegraph.

Organisers have provisionally set a date of 14 July at The Brewery, in London, for the 2021 awards ceremony.

In a statement, Headlinemoney said: “We hope we’ll be able to go ahead with our celebration face to face that evening.

“The safety of our guests is, of course, our priority so if it becomes clear we cannot go ahead as planned we will deliver a virtual awards and provide as much notice as possible of the change.”

Entries will close on Friday 26 February, with the shortlist being announced the following month.
