Lexington, KY – Alltech announced Sunday the initiation of the Alltech ‘A+’ Award to honor creativity, passion, and excellence in equine journalism. The media contest is being organized in partnership with American Horse Publications (AHP) and the International Alliance of Equestrian Journalists (IAEJ) and is open to the members of both organizations.
The Alltech ‘A+’ Award will recognize one journalist from each organization for an Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games-related feature in the following categories:
1. Published Article
2. Published Photo
3. Published Broadcast –includes video, radio, and podcast
The contest will be run twice:
1. Pre-Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games – Entries published between January 1, 2010 and July 1, 2010
2. Post-Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games – Entries published between July 2, 2010 and January 3, 2011
A total of 12 journalists will be honored with an Alltech ‘A+’ Award. Six entries, one from each organization in each category, will be selected in each term of the contest. Please see the Rules and Entry Form.
“Equestrian journalists are among the most committed and passionate of media, enthusiastically following the sport around the world and enduring blazing sun or pouring rain to craft their story and capture that winning moment,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons. “Through the Alltech ‘A+’ Award, we hope to recognize their passion and creativity. When the world’s finest athletes gallop into the Bluegrass in September, these dedicated journalists will be there to chronicle the stories of triumph and serve as the eyes and ears for eager fans unable to make it to Kentucky.”
