There are just three weeks to the closing date for entries to this year’s Media Awards. The closing date has been set for Monday 22nd of February. This year the organisers have stressed that due to the time constraints on the judging process, no extensions to the deadline will be granted this year.
As part of the build-up to the deadline for entries, the organisers of the Awards will be holding a live Q&A session on its Facebook page next Wednesday, February 3rd at 2.30pm. During this live session, entrants can ask questions of the organisers, specifically those relating to the categories, entry forms, putting together entries and other relevant topics.

In addition, entrants can also ask questions about the Awards by submitting any questions to info@mediaawards.ie or by telephoning us on 01- 284 6096.
