2025 CBAA Community Broadcasting Awards Finalist Schedule

With another year comes another exciting round of finalist announcements for the Community Broadcasting Awards, this year taking place at the CBAA Conference awards gala on Saturday 25 October.

We'll be posting finalist announcements on the CBAA Facebook page throughout next week according to the schedule below, and we'll post a full list of finalists on our website on Friday 5 September, noting that the following three categories will be announced on the night:

  • Community Broadcasting Honour Roll
  • Tony Staley Award
  • Michael Law Award

If you're attending the conference make sure you're registered for the Gala Dinner to see the awards in person, it's a separate registration and cost so check in with ICMS at [email protected] if you didn't opt in during registration.

And whether you're among the finalists or not we'd like to thank you for your entry and wish you all the best for future awards seasons!
