The new deadline is now Friday, August 4, instead of the initial Friday, July 21.

The applicants, she pointed out, can visit the dedicated website given as www.maltinateacheroftheyear.com to complete the application forms online or alternatively, download same and send when completed as email to maltinateacheroftheyear@heineken.com.

Mrs. Morgan explained that Maltina Teacher of the Year Award contest remains an effective social intervention program of Nigerian Breweries Plc geared towards improving the teaching profession and the education sector generally in the country.

She urged interested teachers who are yet to submit their entries to take advantage of the deadline extension to submit theirs, stating that the company is committed to continuing to reward hardworking and outstanding teachers through the competition.

She reaffirmed that the overall winner of the competition would receive a trophy, a total cash prize of N6.5 million, and capacity development training while his or her school would get either a block of classroom or a computer laboratory as may be needed.

Similarly, the first and second runner-up will receive a trophy and a total sum of N1.5 million and N1.25 million, respectively, while all the state champions will receive a plaque and a cash prize of N500,000 each.
