Gold Medal Winners
The Gold Medal Awards are presented to WAB member stations for outstanding contribution to Canadian broadcasting industry in the area of community service. Please note there are two separate Gold Medal Awards for community service -one for Radio and one for Television.Each TV entry must be on DVD and each radio entry must be on CD.
Each entry must be accompanied by a written submission (two page maximum) describing the station's initiative. The entry should cover only a single initiative or program that the member station has undertaken in the past year rather than covering multiple initiatives or programs.
Examples of media releases pertaining to that initiative or program along with samples of media coverage may also be submitted in support of your entry.
Entries will be judged using the following criteria:
• Benefit to the community
• Magnitude of the effort
• Staff support and participation
• Sustainability of the initiative/program
• Other recognition received
This year's Gold Medal Awards, mounted and inscribed, will be presented at the Annual Convention of the Association. In addition, the WAB will provide a complimentary registration to next year's annual convention, and one night's standard accommodation.
