Every year, the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) hosts the Ulat SIPAG Award, the Philippines’ major award-giving body for AANR science journalism.
Ulat SIPAG is the Council’s effort to recognize the passion and talents of outstanding media professionals who have popularized stories from the agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources (AANR) sectors.
Once again, the 2024 Ulat SIPAG Awards will recognize exceptional writing and storytelling of media professionals in print, broadcast, and online media. Similar to the previous season, the 2024 Ulat SIPAG Awards will not open any calls for nomination. Instead, DOST-PCAARRD will select all entries across each category through its media monitoring system from June 01, 2023 to June 01, 2024.
