SHARJAH, (Pakistan Point News - 04th Dec, 2018) The International Government Communication Centre, IGCC, a subsidiary of the Sharjah Government Media Bureau, SGMB, has extended the submission deadline of the Sharjah Government Communication Award, SGCA.
Announcing the extension, Jawaher Al Naqbi, Manager of IGCC, noted that the number of entries has seen a steep rise after the introduction of two new award categories this year, namely, "Best Official Spokesperson" and "Best Behaviour Change for Good Initiative".
The first category targets government entities that have nominated a spokesperson as their representative to highlight collective efforts and teamwork. All government bodies, organisations, entities, and departments in the UAE are eligible to compete in this category.
The second category is for both government and semi-governmental entities in the UAE, who have launched a campaign to bring about positive behavioural changes, and impacted the workplace and society.
"The Primary role of the Sharjah Government Communication Award is to encourage and foster best practices in government communications, by offering achievements and innovations in the field by both national and regional government bodies, an international platform to be recognised. It would be safe to say that the award’s reputation has caught on significantly over the years, and the fact that every edition has picked its winners from a larger pool of entries, goes to show that the culture of best practices in government communications is becoming increasingly more vibrant in the UAE and the region," Al Naqbi explained.
She added, "It is to ensure that this spirit of honest achievement and true camaraderie is celebrated in the best possible manner by honouring individuals and organisations who are truly excelling in government communications and redefining its future, that we have extended the submissions deadline to 20th December. We encourage everyone eligible to participate."
Interested entities can submit their entries on the IGCC website before 20th December. The award has received a large number of entries in all categories dedicated to both UAE and GCC-based entities.
