Ford Philippines has announced the winners of the annual Henry Ford Awards (HFA).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now on its 19th<\/sup> year, the HFA has served as a platform in recognizing the important role of journalists in taking the country\u2019s automotive industry forward. The HFA has become an institution in the industry with its continuing efforts to help uplift the state of motoring journalism in the country and give outstanding media practitioners the recognition they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the HFA welcomed two innovations in the advent of the digital revolution. Firstly, it introduced an all-digital submission for all entries, harnessing the speed and precision in using a fully-digital platform to submit, accommodate, and even evaluate entries without the need for paper submissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the HFA launched the new Best Automotive Website category which recognizes the power of digital platforms in informing, educating, and influencing the Filipino motorist. Below are the winners in the 16 categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
