WBA Newsroom
The WBA Awards for Excellence competition is officially underway.
There are many updates to the contest this year. The largest change is that the social and digital media awards will now count toward Station of the Year, which means stations will now compete in their regular market sizes in these categories.
Our special interest category this year will be election coverage. You can read all the details and find the brochure here.
Disqualifications have been in the rise in recent years. You don’t want to miss out on any awards because of a simple mistake. We’ve got tips here to help you avoid disqualifications.
This contest is among the largest in the country, with more than 1,700 submissions each of the last two years.
Submissions are due Jan. 9 by 11:59 p.m. CT. The awards will be given out on May, 4, 2019 at the Madison Marriott West. We can’t wait to see you there!
