[cma-l] [comradio-l] Community Radio & the Sony Radio Academy Awards

[Jordan C - 209radio]

I'm in favour of a volunteer based award!!  I and many others like me work 
hard without getting paid because we have passion for what we do.  To see 
those who have real deep passion getting rewarded by recognition is as good 
as getting paid!!

Whilst many of us volunteers dream of moving into paid broadcast work we 
hold fast to why we joined community media in the first place... A passion 
for our subject matter!!!  Community media is the breeding ground for talent 
of the future and as such major awards should exemplify the best of the 
community sector!
