There are five awards categories this year for the Sandford St Martin Trust broadcasting awards: the Sandford St Martin Television Awards; the Sandford St Martin Radio Awards, the Radio Times Readers’ Award, the Sandford St Martin Personal Award and a new award, the Sandford St Martin Trustees’ Award. There are separate judging panels for the radio and television awards. The Radio Times Readers’ Award is decided by readers voting for their favourite television programme from a shortlist published in the magazine. Winners of the Personal Award and the Trustees’ Award are chosen by trustees of the Sandford St Martin Trust. 2. The Chair of the Television judging panel was Brian Sewell, art critic, Orwell Prize winner, and past Sandford St Martin Premier award winner. The Chair of the Radio judging panel was radio broadcaster, The Rev Cindy Kent. 3. The Sandford St Martin Trust promotes excellence in religious broadcasting. Now in its 35th year, the Trust’s broadcasting awards are open to any programme that deals with religion, ethics or morality. 4. The new Sandford St Martin Trustees’ Award recognises a piece of work on broadcast, electronic or social media that the trustees consider has done most in the previous year to raise the profile of religion in broadcasting. 5. Unlike the other Sandford St Martin Awards, the award for a personal contribution is not made annually but as and when the Trustees feel that individual contribution in promoting religious tolerance and understanding should be recognised. 6. The full criteria for the awards is available on the website: http://www.sandfordawards.org.uk/ 7. The Sandford St Martin Trust is an independent, non-profit organisation registered as a charitable trust in the UK. It seeks to promote excellence in religious broadcasting. It is politically independent and is not affiliated with any media company. The Trust engages with a wide range of media organisations and individual journalists, filmmakers, broadcasters and other media figures, many of whom give their time and expertise voluntarily to support the Trust’s work. The Trust believes the media can be a powerful tool in increasing our understanding of different perspectives and beliefs in our world, helping to create greater understanding, tolerance and thoughtfulness.
