Our “Serving New York Awards” recognize the extraordinary efforts of New York State’s broadcasters in serving the public interest every day. The awards will be presented at regional lunches which are free to all NYSBA members in good standing.
Public Interest Submissions: Stations are encouraged to invite a public interest group that you have worked with during the past year. Attending representatives of your invited public interest groups will be presented with an award as well.
Submit no more than a one or two paragraph description of your public interest program or campaign. It may be an on-air or an off-air campaign. If it is an on-air public service campaign, please include a link to the video or audio in your email. Please send to ddonovan@nysbroadcasters.org.
