The Best of the Northwest Awards is a chance for you to showcase exceptional community media programming. This prestigious awards contest honors outstanding programs produced by community media/PEG (public, educational, government) access TV and other non-commercial media in the Northwest region of the Alliance for Community Media (Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming).

This contest is looking for programs that you take pride in! Programs that people watched and appreciated, that made a difference in your community and demonstrated all that community access has to offer.

For over 20 years, Best of the Northwest has supported television programs that are made on a local level. With your entry, you’ll be joining a group of the Northwest’s most successful community and local access producers. You’ll also be supporting the Alliance for Community Media Northwest Region, an organization that works to preserve community access for future generations.

Entries will be judged at community media centers outside of the Northwest Region.

An awards presentation with clips from the winning entries will take place March 1, 2024 in Olympia, Washington!
