Entries are open to NAB member stations for activities carried out between Oct. 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2025. A judging panel drawn from the broadcasting industry and community service organizations will review applications, with 50 finalists and 10 winners selected.
Winners will be announced during the NAB State Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., on March 3, 2026. Finalists are scheduled to be named in February.
