2026 PMFA Award

We are excited to announce that we’re currently accepting nominations for the annual Public Media for All Award. This honor recognizes public media champions who have had a transformative impact at their station or organization. 

Do you know someone who has made major improvements internally to workplace culture and policies? Or, perhaps someone who's helped reach new, and historically marginalized communities with content that truly serves them? Please take a moment to nominate them. Celebrating the commitment to this work is vital for sustainability and encourages staff, who are often under-recognized for their accomplishments.

PMFA will present its award during the annual Day of Action and Education on January 8th, 2026.

 Nominees meeting the following criteria will be considered:

• Works in public media in the United States in any role.

• Makes outstanding contributions to enhancing internal culture and/or external public service.

• Demonstrates history of excellence and advancement of public media.

• Self-nominations welcome.

Looking for inspiration? Meet last year’s award winner, Doug Mitchell.
