One hundred and seven entries were received at the close of entries in Accra on Monday for this year's Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards.

Mr Bright Blewu, General Secretary of GJA, told the Ghana News Agency in an interview that, "it is the highest number of entries we have ever received and it shows the heightened interest in the awards system.

"The award is meant to ensure the highest level of journalistic excellence in the country.

"This is the first time that we have had entries going beyond the 100 mark and it is very encouraging."

He said the exact number of entries countrywide would be known by Wednesday June two when entries from the regions would have been picked up from the post.
