Youth Radio has been selected as a Silver Winner in Radio for the W3 Awards.
 Youth Radio has been selected as a Silver Winner in Radio for the prestigious W3 Awards, which honor a high standard of excellence in the converged media field. The Silver Winner distinction affirms the organization’s skill, creativity, and overall vision.
The W3 Awards are chosen by the International Academy of Visual Arts (IAVA), a body of leading media professionals whose board includes executives from major fashion companies like Polo Ralph Lauren and Coach; media outlets like MTV and HBO; and top-tier marketing companies like Alloy. "Winning awards like the W³ helps us build our business, honor our clients and thank our team," said Matt Diamond, CEO of Alloy Media and Marketing.
The W3 is also one of the first online award systems in which small independent companies and non-profits compete against Fortune 500 corporations – making the competition accessible to a wide range of businesses and organizations.
Patrick Johnson, Youth Radio’s Associate and graduate of Youth Radio’s class of 1998, “What makes this award so important is that is recognizes our excellence not just among other non-profits but those in the for-profit arena as well. It was Youth Radio’s web team – interns, project associates and staff – which further illustrates our place in contemporary internet landscape.”
