The non-profit International Network of Golf conducts the contest, recognizing the best and brightest among its media members. Of the ING Media Awards categories, seven are for writers: Travel Writing, Business Writing, Opinions/Editorials, Feature Writing, Profile Writing, Equipment/Apparel Writing and Competition Coverage.
Other categories include, Excellence in Publications, TV Shows, Radio Shows (two categories), Podcasts and the Internet Video category.
Judging is done by a panel of three independent experts in each category. Judges are selected by Individual Category Chairs. Where possible, by-lines and publication names are stripped from the articles before they are sent to the judges.
Rules, regulations, category descriptions, entry forms and past winners can be found under Awards on the www.inggolf.com site.
CertiFresh Cigar® has signed on as Distribution Sponsor. Since the presentation will be conducted virtually this year, winners’ plaques and prizes will need to be shipped, so CertiFresh stepped up to cover those costs.
Prize sponsors include Volvik golf balls and Zero Friction golf gloves. The Host sponsor is the PGA Merchandise Show Virtual Experience.
ING is the golf industry’s only media-based networking organization. “ING is where media and the golf industry connect.”
