JJ Jim Johnston and company decide to extend the deadline for submitting nominees for the Allan Waters Young Broadcast of the Yer Award in Honour of Steve Young…
Thanks to those who have submitted and a reminder there is still time for the rest who haven’t. This is a great for you to honour your young talent. Thank you.
Good afternoon everyone. It’s time once again for the “Allan Waters Young Broadcaster of the Year Award in Honour of Steve Young”.
Don’t you just love the new crop of broadcasters: young and fresh with something to say, and the tools to say it. Over the past 11 years when we first awarded the Steve Young Broadcaster of the Year award, we’ve seen the young talent explode in our country. Radio is all about compelling personalities who will continue to be the critical point of difference as the radio industry marches forward.
Please take the opportunity to shine a spotlight on one of your rising stars, as CMW and “Friends of Steve Young” once again salute Steve with the “Allan Waters Young Broadcaster of the Year Award in Honour of Steve Young”.
This is the 10th annual award to recognize Canada’s outstanding young broadcasters, many of whom have gone on to big successes since receiving the award. The winning recipient’s travel, accommodation and CMW registration will be covered so they can receive this award in person.
Anyone also working in the industry can nominate any worthy broadcaster so long as they meet these criteria:
- Candidate must be under the age of 30 as of April 19th, 2019.
- Must work in the programming department: On-Air, Programming, Promotion, Production or Creative
- Must be nominated by another individual working in the radio industry
- Must be Canadian Citizen or Landed Immigrant
- Must have made a significant, documented contribution to the community they serve, the radio industry or their craft
The extended deadline for entries is this Saturday March 16th, 2019 at midnight EST time. Entries arriving after the deadline will not be eligible. Winners will be notified by Monday April 8th, 2019.
Please note that past nominees, including last year’s runners-up, can again be nominated. Click here – or copy-and-paste the link below – to access the Submission Form that must be completed for your nomination.
