Please forward far and wide

The NCRA Board and staff are thrilled to announce the 2012 NCRA/ANREC
Community Radio Awards!

These awards honour the amazing programming, people and activities our
sector has to offer and reflect the range and diversity of community
radio across Canada.

Winners receive national recognition at the NCRC Awards Gala June 2012
in Kingston, ON and on the NCRA/ANREC website.

Unless otherwise indicated, all applications and programming may be
submitted in English or French. Full submission details are below and
at www.ncra.ca/awards

The Awards categories include:

1) Volunteer of the Year: This award honours the person who has worked
tirelessly for your station without getting any money. Candidates must
be submitted by the station, one per station, and include a letter of
reference with details about why the volunteer deserves to win the
award.

2) The CKLN-FM Community Development Award: How has your station
helped your community in the past year? This can include programming,
special events, charity fundraising, partnerships with other local
organizations or anything else that made a difference.

This award has been renamed in honour of CKLN-FM, the community-based
campus station formerly based at Ryerson University in Toronto, ON.
That station's licence was revoked by the CRTC for non-compliance but
we wanted to remember "the voice of the underground" for some of the
amazing work they did in their community over their 27-year history.
To hear a documentary about CKLN-FM, go to
