Due to the sudden change in playing venue at the start of the PBA Governors’ Cup, the PBA Press Corps Sportswriting Contest has been moved to Nov. 24 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Following the change in date, the group also decided to extend the deadline for submission of entries until Thursday (Nov. 21), still on a first-come, first-served basis.
Only college and senior high students are qualified to join, with each school allowed entry of two writers and one photographer.
The inclusion of a photography category for the first time in the history of the competition is in line with the 25th anniversary celebration of the contest first held in 1994.
Participants are required to submit valid school IDs and should be a bonafide member/staff of their respective school publication.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners of both categories.
A sportswriting and photo seminar precede the contest proper at 2 p.m. Registration starts at 1 p.m. at the South gate of the Araneta Coliseum.
