Nestlé Nigeria Opens Entries 2025 Media Awards, Adds New Business Economy Category

Nestlé Nigeria has officially announced the commencement of submissions for the 2025 Nestlé Media Awards, an annual initiative designed to celebrate excellence in journalism that informs, inspires, and drives positive change across the country.

In a statement released by the company, Nestlé emphasized that the awards aim to recognize outstanding journalists and media professionals whose works contribute meaningfully to national development through accurate, impactful, and solution-oriented reporting.

A notable highlight of this year’s edition is the introduction of a new category — Business and Economy Reporting — which seeks to spotlight stories centered on Nigeria’s business environment, economic trends, entrepreneurship, and policy dynamics. Unlike other categories, this particular segment does not require submissions to focus on Nestlé, allowing journalists greater freedom to explore diverse economic narratives and growth opportunities across the country.

Other award categories will continue to showcase impactful stories around Nestlé’s initiatives, including Nutrition and Affordable Food Solutions, Environmental Sustainability, Youth Empowerment and Development, Women Empowerment, Community Development, Finance, Agriculture, and the Best Photojournalist Award.

Nestlé noted that these categories are designed to underscore the power of responsible journalism in shaping a more informed and progressive society.

Journalists and media practitioners are encouraged to submit their entries via the official submission form before the deadline of November 8, 2025.
