2025 Cardinal Community Service Awards

Submissions for the 2025 Cardinal Awards for Community Service are open. In 2025, we will be congratulating stations at regional reception events that are planned as social gatherings for our member broadcasters. Receptions will take place in South Bend, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and Evansville.

The Indiana Broadcasters Association is pleased to salute member broadcasters for their most significant community service contributions with the Cardinal Award, named in honor of the Indiana state bird – whose striking plumage can be found throughout the year on the Hoosier landscape. Stations interested in being recognized with an IBA Cardinal Award should submit details about the single most impactful station contribution to a community organization or project in the past year.

Make your submission before May 31 at 11:59PM to be recognized.
