RTDNA Canada Calls for Lifetime Achievement Award Nominations

TORONTO, Oct. 12, 2011 /CNW/ - RTDNA Canada - The Association of Electronic Journalists - is calling on broadcasters and online journalists to nominate individuals who have distinguished themselves through outstanding service and continued excellence during the course of their career in electronic journalism. We look forward to recognizing more of our peers in 2012 - our 50^th anniversary year.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is one of the highest honours bestowed by RTDNA Canada. Dozens of individuals have received this award since 2003.

The award is for lifetime achievement rather than for a single contribution. Nominees should have a minimum of 30 years of distinguished service to electronic journalism.

We are now accepting nominations! 
To nominate a colleague (active or retired) you deem deserving of this prestigious recognition, simply download the Lifetime Achievement Award Nomination Form (PDF) from the RTDNA Canada website at www.rtdnacanada.com and return your completed nomination to the address indicated on the form. ENTRY DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 31, 2011.
