About the Awards
This awards program recognises excellence in the multicultural media and marketing industry.
NSW is one of the most successful Multicultural states in the world and it is important to celebrate the benefits of our diversity. The PMCAs acknowledge the important role marketing and media professionals play in communicating this success.
The PMCAs recognise the valuable contribution multicultural media and marketing make to our society by connecting people to their culture, identity, and language. These awards celebrate and recognise the important role journalists, editors and publishers in text, radio, television and digital media play.
