Thank you!
We are grateful to all of you for participating in this year's Catholic Media awards. The submission period is now closed.
The Catholic Media Association, established in 1911, acknowledges the work of those in Catholic media through its award programs. As a global network of Catholic communicators, the CMA recognizes the diversity of media available today and facilitates a wide variety of honors programs for its members and those in related professions.
The Catholic Media Association announces recipient names at its Catholic Media Conference in June, publishes them in the Awards issue of The Catholic Journalist, and showcases them on the CMA website.
