The
John Whitney Award
This
award is open to anyone working in hospital radio whether they are part of
the presentation team, an engineer, fundraiser or hospital visit. Entries
for this category are to be written (no recordings required). The sponsor,
the Radio Academy has issued the following guidelines.
This
award is to be made to the man or woman who has made a quite outstanding
contribution to Hospital Radio over a period of years. The terms of
reference are quite intentionally broad in order to encompass all possible
worthy recipients. The winner may be drawn from broadcasting but might
equally be found from a technical or administrative background. They may
have worked for a single station, a series of stations. The written
nomination should explain why the candidate has made a real and long
lasting impact.
