<div dir="ltr">Replying a bit late on all this.<div><br></div><div>The <a href="http://communityradioawards.co.uk">communityradioawards.co.uk</a> are the ones that I am running, and the deadline closed at the weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>Its (was?) £5 to enter / submit a nomination, we are about to start processing the submissions and confirming judges at the moment (so if anyone on the list offered to get involved watch for an email very soon). We are running a judge led process for a shortlist and then the Gold, Silver Bronze will be announced at the awards ceremony which is the same night as the CMA conference (watch this space for details!),</div><div><br></div><div>Its worth stating again, that these are not the CMA awards, any whilst they are 'endorsed' by the CMA, I/We wanted them to be independent and also open to all CR licensed stations.</div><div><br></div><div>Why awards? well through long conversations, stations felt they wanted them.. I believe the sector needs to shout louder about what great work it does in its communities, and some stations said that being nomination alone would be something to help raise their profile in their local community, to note on a grant application or as part of conversations with advertisers / councils etc.. I see lots of many and different benefits of the awards, and aside for "blowing smoke" its truly showcasing, celebrating and highlighting those involved in community radio and the fantastic work they are doing.</div><div><br></div><div>The awards are very different in various aspects, and it wouldnt be right or fair for me to attempt to compare them, we have been in communication (and in fact we started that communication) with the other awards, and are keen to have a dialog with them, we are currently awaiting a reply from our last email sent to that effect.</div><div><br></div><div>We wish everyone the best of luck to those who have entered the awards, and hope to see lots of you at the ceremony to celebrate community radio.</div><div><br></div><div>Martin</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 15 June 2016 at 13:32, Artisan Broadcast (Sales) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sales@artisanbroadcast.uk" target="_blank">sales@artisanbroadcast.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I heard an interview with the founder of the competing awards to those run by Martin from CMA.
