Gabriel Awards

The Gabriel Awards honor the best in film, broadcasting, and digital media that support themes of dignity, compassion, community, and justice. The efforts of these talented individuals inspire us to act with greater respect and concern for others.

The program accepts entries in Film, Radio, and Television in English & Spanish Language categories for work completed during the previous calendar year.

Awards are presented at the Catholic Media Conference, June 6-9, 2023, in Baltimore, as well as on the CMA website and on social media. Join colleagues at the Gabriel Awards Reception on June 8, 2023, to see excerpts from the winning entries and applaud the recipients as they receive their coveted Gabriel Statue.
