There is no doubt the panel responsible for choosing the NAB Crystal Award winners have a monumental task. We've seen - and reported on - many radio stations who've been doing great work in their local communities. The NAB Crystal Radio Awards were established 25 years ago to recognize stations for their year-round commitment to community service. But you will not win if you do not submit your story. And you only have 3 weeks, entries are due by January 31st.
Pete Booker, president and CEO Delmarva Broadcasting whose station, WSTW-FM, was a 2011 Crystal Award recipient, said "national recognition for outstanding community service initiatives is a wonderful shot in the arm for a station's staff, its advertisers and audience" that inspires more creativity and new initiatives.
Crystal Radio Awards finalists and winners are chosen by judges with broadcast and community service backgrounds. Entry information is available on NAB's website or by calling Melek Demir at 202-775-3511. The Crystal Radio Awards finalists will be revealed on March 12. Winners will be announced and the finalists will be honored at the NAB Radio Luncheon. The Luncheon, sponsored by ASCAP, will be held Tuesday, April 17 during the 2012 NAB Show in Las Vegas.
