KUCHING: The Federation of Sarawak Journalist Association (FSJA) is extending the date of submission of articles for the 32nd edition of the Kenyalang Journalism Awards 2020 to this coming August 15.

The Kenyalang Journalism Awards 2020, she added, will be held at Hilton Hotel Kuching on November 6, 2020, sponsored by the state government, Petronas, Sarawak Energy, and Sarawak Shell Bhd.

All categories are further divided into Bahasa Melayu, English, Chinese, and Iban sub-categories.
