SABEW Canada now accepting Best in Business entries

The SABEW Canada Best in Business Awards, celebrating excellence in Canadian business journalism, is now accepting entries.

This is the fifth year for the awards, which are sponsored by the Canadian chapter of the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing. The BIB Awards are the only journalism awards program in Canada that specifically recognizes exemplary works of journalism that relate to business, finance and the economy.

Entries for the BIB Awards must have been published, broadcast or posted online during the 2018 calendar year. The fee per entry is US$45 (including taxes). Freelancers are eligible for a US$15 discount using the promo code “Freelancer.”

This year, we have five new categories that reflect not just the maturity of the Best in Business Awards here in Canada, but also the changing face of journalism. The new categories include Best Editorial Newsletter, Best Scoop and Best Trade Article. For the first time ever, we’re also handing out awards for Best Young Journalist and Outstanding Achievement.

The contest closes on March 1, and the awards will be handed out in Toronto on Wednesday, April 17, at Baro (485 King Street West). Tickets will go on sale soon.

For a full list of contest rules, please visit the BIB Canada website. Please note that the Best in Business Awards are open to members of SABEW Canada only. To sign up for a membership, either group or individual, contact sabew@sabew.org or visit our membership page.
