The Iowa Broadcasters Association is pleased to continue its Annual Station Awards contest!

This competition was established to encourage the highest standards of reporting, community service and production creativity. It brings the ultimate prize-peer recognition to members of the broadcast industry in Iowa.

All Station Awards will be presented at the 2025 Annual Convention on June 12th. Winners will be notified and must be present during the Awards Presentation.

Here's a couple of important points:

  • In the registration process, please choose Iowa Broadcasters Association option not the Iowa Broadcast News Association on the registration form.

  • Stations will be invoiced for payment.
