Folio Awards Call for Entries Open

The Fair Media Council Folio Award call for entries is now open.

The Folio Awards recognize the best in news and social media, and earning a Folio represents the gold standard for today’s modern media landscape. All are eligible to enter, and new categories have been introduced. 

While the final entry deadline is 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 1, 2023, a tiered-entry system is designed to encourage early submissions at lower entry fees. Different fees also apply to professional and student entries.

There are now 53 news categories and 40 social media categories. 

The Folio Award illustrates recognition by industry professionals and news consumers — or, as we like to say, it’s where critical acclaim meets box office success.
