Globe Media Excellence Awards 2019

Globe Media Excellence Awards (GMEA) is back after taking a breather for a year.

Globe launched GMEA in 2012 to recognize journalists, broadcasters, bloggers, and social media advocates in Cebu and Davao who have shown excellence in their craft, commitment to their profession, and have created a positive impact to the society.
On its fourth run in 2015, GMEA expanded its coverage to other key cities in Visayas and Mindanao. GMEA now covers Cebu, Bacolod, and Iloilo in the Visayas, and Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, and General Santos in Mindanao.
Anchored on Globe Telecom’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, GMEA seeks out entries that delve on the care for the environment, innate care for people, positive societal impact, and digitalization.
All entries must delve on the four (4) Sustainability Focus Areas such as Care for the Environment, Innate Care People, Positive Societal Impact, and Digital Nation.
