"At New York Festivals we continue to be responsive to current industry trends; our categories continue our tradition of honouring the very best programs and promos being created in radio today and encourage the next generation of story-tellers and talent across all audio platforms" said Anderson. "There are no geographical boundaries for talent and innovation, so we have no boundaries in our entry process."
In 2013, The Grand Jury members honoured The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with the title of Broadcaster of the Year, and TBI Media UK earned Production Company of the Year. Two exceptional programs earned Grand Trophies: "Benghazi Blogger - The State We're In" Radio Netherlands Worldwide for Best Coverage of an Ongoing News Story; and "Titanic - Minute by Minute" TBI Media UK in the History category.
Since 1990, NYF and the United Nations Department of Public Information have offered the opportunity for the competition's entrants to be awarded the United Nations Department of Public Information Award. This coveted award honours radio broadcasting that best exemplifies the ideals and goals of the United Nations.
NYF® enlists jurists from all over the world to become The Grand Jury members. These men and women include some of the most recognizable voices and captivating programming producers in the industry.
