The 2012 Community Broadcasting Association of Australia Awards have been distributed to those stations and shows that have demonstrated excellence in community radio. The awards recognise the achievements of stations and their volunteers, both on and off-air.
The awards are designed to encourage and assist community broadcasters and acknowledge the accomplishments of stations in their programs, initiatives and practices that increase their station’s capabilities or improve the services offered to their community.
The Voxies were presented at the Conference Gala Awards Dinner on November 17th in Melbourne.
Congratulations to all the winners!
