Alan Lodge Young Spirits Writer of the Year Award launches
In celebration of an amazing colleague and journalist, who so sadly lost his life earlier this year, The Spirits Business is launching the Alan Lodge International Young Spirits Writer of the Year Award in his honour.
The Young International Spirits Writer of the Year Award has been launched in memory of Alan Lodge, who passed away in February 2012
Alan was a truly talented writer and our quest now is to reward other young writers and keep Alan’s memory alive.
Young journalists from all over the world are invited to enter and we are recruiting a totally independent team to judge the entries.
We are looking for outstanding copy that has been written on either a spirit brand(s) or the spirit markets.
The prize will be an all expenses paid trip to the Ardbeg Distillery, which was Alan’s favourite whisky, and £1000.
To enter the inaugural Alan Lodge International Young Spirits Writer of the Year Award for free, you must:
• Be 35 years old or under by 28 September 2012
• Make sure your entry has been published in the English language either in print or online between September 2011 and September 2012
• Enter no more than four pieces of work
• Submit your entries via email to info@thespiritsbusiness.com with the subject headed ‘Alan Lodge International Young Spirits Writer of the Year Award’
• Submit your entries by 28 September 2012
Entries will be scored out of ten for content and style, with the winner being announced at The Spirits Masters Awards lunch on Tuesday 20 November, at a central London venue. The winner will be invited to the awards as a guest of The Spirits Business.
