The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has announced an extension of the entry deadline for the 30th GJA Media Awards to September 25, 2026. This decision was made to provide an additional opportunity for journalists whose 2025 membership applications were recently vetted and approved to submit their eligible works for consideration. The original deadline was September 18, 2026.

According to a statement issued by the GJA, the extension aims to allow members in good standing who have not yet submitted their entries to take advantage of the one-week extension. Eligible works include stories and other media productions from 2025. The GJA encourages members to submit their entries online through the GJA website using the 2026 GJA Media Awards entry form.

The GJA Media Awards is a prestigious event that recognizes outstanding contributions to journalism in Ghana. The 30th edition of the awards seeks to honor journalists who have produced exceptional works in various categories. By extending the deadline, the GJA hopes to receive more submissions from eligible members.

The Ghana Journalists Association has urged its members to submit their entries by the new deadline of September 25, 2026. This will enable the awards committee to review and select the best works produced in 2025. The GJA is committed to promoting excellence in journalism and providing a platform for journalists to showcase their skills.

The extension of the entry deadline is also seen as an opportunity for journalists who may have missed the initial deadline to participate in the awards. The GJA has emphasized the importance of submitting entries online through the official website. This ensures that all submissions are properly documented and processed.

The 30th GJA Media Awards is expected to attract a high level of participation from journalists across Ghana. The awards ceremony is likely to take place later this year, with the exact date to be announced by the GJA. Journalists are advised to visit the GJA website for more information on the submission process and eligibility criteria.
