The NAMIC Vision Awards have recognized exceptional programming that reflects the diversity of global viewership for the past thirty years. Our commitment to educating, advocating, and empowering for multi-ethnic diversity in the communications industry has never wavered, and we are proud to acknowledge those who share our dedication.
Broadcast and cable networks, cable operators, syndicators, VOD content produced by cable and/or broadcast companies for web or mobile digital platforms, independent film/video production companies, and distributors were all eligible to apply for the 2024 NAMIC Vision Awards. The submissions underwent a rigorous review by a distinguished panel of judges, composed of media and entertainment industry leaders. The award winners will be announced by NAMIC in May. We are excited to present the nominees for the 2024 Vision Awards.
