About FMC Folio Awards
The Folio Awards is more than just an event—it’s a driving force behind improving news and media for everyone. Bringing together top journalists, social media professionals, and industry leaders from across the country, the Folio Awards is a celebration of trust, credibility, and impactful storytelling across both traditional and digital media. By recognizing excellence in news reporting and innovative social media storytelling, the awards push for higher standards in journalism and digital communication, all while fostering meaningful connections among key decision-makers.
The Difference
What makes the Folio Awards truly unique is the involvement of community leaders as judges, ensuring that the stories recognized are not only of high quality but also deeply relevant to the communities they serve.
