Hong Kong: The JNA Awards is giving interested participants more time to submit their entries for its 9th edition owing to challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“As the world is facing an unprecedented challenge due to the outbreak of Covid-19, the JNA Awards has postponed the entry deadline to May 22 to allow more time for preparation,” revealed event organiser Informa Markets. “As an advocator of best business practice, we understand the difficulties faced by the industry and would like to allow enough time for entrants to present their best profile.”

The JNA Awards recognises and celebrates best business practices, excellence and innovation demonstrated by individuals and companies in the industry.

This year’s edition also comes with updated awards categories to further expand the programme’s influence and sustain momentum. The eight categories lead to a consolidated structure that better responds to the current market and industry landscape, the organiser said. The competition also covers a wider range of geographic locations.
