On December 16, The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced that the presentation of the 2025 NAB Crystal Radio Awards will take place during a special ceremony at the NAB State Leadership Conference March 4, 2025.

Established in 1987, the NAB Crystal Radio Awards bring national recognition to radio stations for their year-round commitment to serving communities. A panel of judges representing the broadcast industry and community service organizations review applications and select 50 finalists and 10 winners.

Entries for the 39th annual NAB Crystal Radio Awards, honoring outstanding community service efforts by NAB member radio stations throughout 2024, will be accepted January 1-24, 2025. Finalists will be announced in February.

Stations must submit an online entry through NAB’s member platform, My NAB, describing their community service efforts for the 2024 calendar year.

Entry information is available here, or by contacting NAB’s Senior Director of Awards, Events and Member Experience Tobi Hall.
