As in the past, this will be a statewide competition, with stations competing against other stations in similarly sized markets. The portal has been extended until April 8. Submissions will once again be accepted online.
We will present awards in multiple categories for radio, television, and digital. We have a separate division for college radio and television stations. The competition will be statewide with stations competing in large, medium, and small markets. All entries must have been broadcast by the submitting radio/TV/College station employees (or students) between March 1, 2023, and March 15, 2024.
This competition encourages professional performance and recognizes outstanding achievement among radio, television, and college stations in our state, and all employees of NYSBA member stations in good standing are urged to submit entries.
We will present the Excellence in Broadcasting awards at our regional luncheons in September. The 2024 luncheon dates can be seen below:
