    brandhouse Responsible Drinking Media Awards selects judges

    The awards are open to all South African journalists who have demonstrated an effort to support responsible drinking by publishing or broadcasting an informative and educational piece of work between 1 May 2014 and 30 April 2015. It must have appeared in the South African media (print, broadcast or online). The piece needs to tackle any responsible drinking issue - including the related narratives of alcohol abuse and its consequences.

    "We selected the judges based on their integrity, extensive experience, knowledge of the local journalism industry and for their active roles in supporting the responsible drinking agenda in South Africa. Our judges represent a wide skill set, and will undoubtedly provide us with a professional, independent and holistic approach," says Michael Mabasa, Corporate Relations Director at brandhouse.
