Gabriel Awards at 1645 Brook Lynn Dr., Suite 2, Dayton, OH 45432-1944 US - 2006 - The Gabriel Awards

The Gabriel Awards are designed to honor works of excellence in film and broadcast programs, features, spots and stations which serve viewers and listeners through the positive, creative treatment of concerns to human kind.

Description of Award
The award itself is a nine-inch silver angel figure mounted on a polished base of wood. Gabriel raises skyward a globe encircled by electrons to symbolize the communication of God's word to humanity. With it we salute all those who strive for values-centered programming.

Judging Process
Entrants enter a highly selective process of preliminary screening and Blue Ribbon judging. Sometimes, Blue Ribbon Juries choose not to present an award in a particular category because they feel some level of excellence (values, content, creativity, artistic quality, technical quality and impact is lacking). By maintaining the high standards established with the first Gabriel Awards in 1965, UNDA-USA has been able to influence the type of programs found on television and radio.


Judging Criteria
The single most important criterion of a Gabriel winning program is its ability to uplift and nourish the human spirit. A Gabriel worthy program affirms the dignity of human beings; it recognizes and upholds universally recognized human values such as community, creativity, tolerence, justice, compassion and the dedication to excellence. The awards are not limited to any sectarian religious creed.
