August 1 2007

The Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) makes this award annually to an individual who has made an exceptional contribution to Public Service Broadcasting. This can be over a lifetime, in a crisis or over a particular time.

Nominations are invited now for the 2007 Award. Any senior executive in a CBA member station, or in an affiliated organisation, may nominate a person who has made an exceptional contribution to public service broadcasting. This should be more than just long and distinguished service. The Award will go to someone who has had a major impact on the quality of broadcasting in a particular area, and brought about significant change - it could be, for example, a campaigner, performer, manager or a pioneering engineering inventor, who need not belong to a member or affiliate organisation.
