Annual Awards Celebrate Journalistic Excellence in Reporting on National Development, from Nutrition to Sustainability
Lagos, Nigeria – Nestlé Nigeria has officially announced the call for entries for the 2025 Nestlé Media Awards, an annual initiative that recognizes journalists for impactful storytelling and exceptional reporting across the nation.
This year’s edition strengthens its commitment to solution-driven journalism with the introduction of a major new category: Business and Economy Reporting. This new category is unique as it is open to stories on the broader Nigerian business landscape—including economic trends, entrepreneurship, and policy—and does not require a focus on Nestlé itself.
Focus on a Resilient Economy
Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications, Public Affairs and Sustainability Lead at Nestlé Nigeria, highlighted the significance of the new category. “This milestone edition strengthens that commitment with the introduction of the Business and Economy category, reflecting the realities of doing business in Nigeria today,” she said. “By spotlighting journalism that amplifies solutions and supports growth for both small and large enterprises, we aim to contribute to a more resilient and inclusive economy for all.”
For the past five years, the Awards have celebrated journalists who highlight critical issues such as affordable nutrition, youth empowerment, and community resilience.
Submissions Across Multiple Categories
Journalists are invited to submit their best work across nine total categories. While the new Business and Economy category offers a broad focus, entries for the existing awards must center on Nestlé Nigeria’s local or global initiatives.
Existing Categories Include:
- Nutrition and Affordable Food Solutions
- Environmental Sustainability
- Youth Empowerment and Development
- Women Empowerment
- Community Development
- Finance
- Agriculture
- Best Photojournalist Award
The Awards are open to professionals across print, broadcast, and digital media. Stories must have been published between November 9, 2024, and November 7, 2025.
How to Enter
Entries will be evaluated by an independent panel of industry experts based on accuracy, depth of storytelling, and societal relevance.
- Submission Deadline: November 8, 2025
- Announcement of Winners: December 5, 2025, in Lagos.
Participants can submit one entry per category via the 2025 Nestlé Nigeria Media Awards Entry Form, which requires a link or copy of the published work, a short entrant profile, and a brief description of the story.
