The National Media Awards Foundation (NMAF) is a bilingual, charitable organization committed to fostering excellence in journalism and visual creation. Established in 1977, the Foundation has been honoring journalists, writers, photographers, illustrators, and other media professionals who excel in their craft. Through its awards programs, the NMAF supports the growth of robust journalism by inspiring both established professionals and emerging talent to persist in their essential contributions to society. Governed by a volunteer board of directors representing diverse regions and aspects of the Canadian publishing industry, the NMAF champions the highest standards in media excellence.

The Foundation also hosts every year Winners’ Circle, an exclusive professional development and networking activity.
