We are very excited to announce that the entire Memories of Sarajevo series is a finalist in the New York International Radio Awards!
Over 260 entries from over 30 countries from radio stations from around the world and we are in the top eleven in our category of ‘Social Issues’.
We entered this category rather than’History’ or ‘Arts and Entertainment’ because we believe the story we have told is a timeless one that is still relevant today 22 years after the war in Sarajevo and the story of Radio Zid has all but vanished from many people’s memories.
We are up againsts some very stiff competition including several entries from Australia’s own SBS and ABC.
Wish us luck – it will be a magnificent achievement for a small community radio station to gain a placing amongst this world field.
The winners of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be announced at the Gala Awards night in New York
Wish we could be there!
