SGCA invites pioneering writers in government communication

 The Sharjah Government Media Bureau (SGMB) has called on international academic and educational pioneers, including researchers and writers in government communication and public influence, to showcase their exceptional work in communication sciences in the tenth edition of the Sharjah Government Communication Award (SGCA).

Recognising outstanding works, research and publications in communication sciences that capitalise on the growing array of traditional and modern communication tools and their public influence, the award aims to support educational and academic institutions, advance academic research in communication and media, and provide a conducive environment for professionals in this realm. SGCA is accepting submissions across its categories until August 15, 2023.

Among the global categories of the 10th edition of SGCA, the "Best Applied Scientific Research in Government Communication" recognises researchers, and educational and academic government institutions that address the challenges of government communication and present practical communication solutions and methodologies.

The award celebrates two winners through its subcategories: "Individual or Group Research" and "Research by Government, Semi-Government, or Private Entity". Through these categories, SGCA aims to create a broader positive impact through institutional and government communication while also engaging the theoretical and academic facets that support the success of the communication process system.

Acknowledging the crucial contribution of research to the progress of public communication, SGCA is introducing the global category of "Best Writer or Author in Government Communication Sciences". The award celebrates authors who offer fresh perspectives and valuable knowledge, greatly influencing government communication and its implementation. To ensure credibility, the award honours publications accredited by academic institutions with significant circulation.
