The submission deadline for the 2024 awards was Friday night. A total of 125 stations submitted entries, up from 120 the previous year.
A total of 1,493 entries were submitted.
“Wisconsin broadcasters have a lot to be proud of in the work they did in 2024 and we’re confident the hundreds of entries submitted this year will reflect that,” WBA President and CEO Michelle Vetterkind said. “We can’t wait to celebrate our members’ award-winning work when hold our gala in May.”
Stations are competing for awards in numerous categories for news, sports, weather, advertising, public service, and digital and social media. Stations are also competing for Station of the Year and News Operation of the Year awards that are determined based on points earned by winning awards in other categories.
