Caribbean Travel Media Award

It’s hard to believe that the CTO Caribbean Travel Media awards are back again for another year. It’s becoming one of the most anticipated events during WTM.  The end of the Summer, and didn’t we have a hot one, leads straight in to Back To School and a frenzy of travel industry events and awards all vying for attention.  The competition is rife but here at River we are working hard at making sure that the awards get the recognition they deserve.

 But it is your entries we need to make it a success.  The Caribbean Travel Media Awards are an opportunity to celebrate and reward the very best media coverage of the Caribbean. While also recognising the hard work behind each article or post. In 2017, we had over 120 entries, with a record number of social media campaigns. The 2017  Awards introduced, for the first time, a Social Media category. 

 The deadline of 12 October is closing in and we need your best articles and features, blogs, vlogs, social media campaigns and broadcast features from the past year.  The full list of categories, important submission detail and online forms are available to download from caribbean.co.uk/CTOtravelawards. 

We will shortly announce the panel of Judges selected to review the Awards. They will review all the entries to shortlist the four lucky finalists for each category to be announced on 24 October.  The winners of the CTO Caribbean Travel Media Awards will be announced on Monday 5 November at the Fox@Excel at the Customs House entrance of WTM and we can’t wait to cheer them on.
