The CPQ/Rolls-Royce Words & Images Award
'The Forgotten Commonwealth'

CPQ has linked up with Rolls-Royce plc, a name synonymous with excellence, to launch a unique Commonwealth journalism award.

The aim of this new award is to bridge a divide that still exists in much journalism around the Commonwealth and fuse the complementary crafts of writing and photo-journalism into one. Most journalism award schemes salute either written work or photographic or graphic art. The CPQ/Rolls-Royce Words & Images Award unites and celebrates them in one accolade.
