Celebrating The Best in Caribbean Broadcasting
For nearly three decades the CBU has presented its annual awards competition to celebrate the best of content created by media houses in the Dutch, English, French and Spanish Caribbean.
Originally the Caribbean Broadcasting Awards was open only to radio and television content. But it has now broadened to become the Caribbean Media Awards to reflect the expansion of the CBU’s membership to include digital and print content creators.
