Following the success of the 2020 Celebration of Service to America Awards, winners and finalists will again be honored during a special televised event, available for stations to air next summer.

The professionally produced one-hour program will feature celebrity guests, past honorees and DC policymakers commending local radio and television stations from across the country for their exceptional commitment to public service and the extraordinary measures taken throughout 2020 to keep communities informed, supported and safe.

Eight Service to Community Awards will be presented, with one radio and one television honoree in each of the following categories:

  • Broadcast Ownership Group

  • Large/Major Market (TV DMAs 1-50, Radio Markets 1-50)

  • Medium Market (TV DMAs 51-100, Radio Markets 51-150)

  • Small Market (TV DMAs 101-210, Radio Markets 151-300)

Radio and television stations, as well as broadcast groups, are encouraged to enter their best community service efforts from the past year. Both NAB members and non-members are eligible to enter. Entries must be submitted by Friday, March 5. Additional information on the awards entry rules is available at ServiceToAmericaAwards.org.
