Wisconsin’s radio and TV stations submitted 1,535 entries to the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Awards for Excellence contest, a increase over last year (1,502).
The submission deadline for the 2023 awards was Wednesday night. A total of 120 stations submitted entries.
“Wisconsin broadcasters did some amazing work in 2023 and that’s reflected in the level of participation in this year’s awards program,” WBA President and CEO Michelle Vetterkind said. “There will be plenty to celebrate when we gather for the 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.
The awards will be handed out at the WBA Awards Gala on May 4 at the Madison Marriott West. The theme is “Vintage.” Registration is available here.
