Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals at 1645 Brook Lynn Dr., Ste 2, Dayton, OH 45432-1933 US - 2003 Gabriel Award Winners

The Gabriels, presented each year by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals, honor industry professionals who produce films, television and radio programs, features and spot announcements that serve viewers and listeners through the positive, creative treatment of human concerns. The single most important criterion for selecting a Gabriel-winning program is its ability to uplift and nourish the human spirit. (A complete list of winners follows.)

This year's winners include broadcasters from across the United States and Canada - and recognize achievements produced for national release as well as for markets 1-25 and 26+. A Gabriel-worthy program affirms the dignity of human beings and recognizes and upholds universally- recognized human values such as community, creativity, tolerance, justice, compassion and the dedication to excellence.

Special Gabriels are awarded each year to a radio and a television station for consistency in high-quality programming and a strong commitment to community service. This year's Station of the Year Gabriels goes to KNOM Radio, Nome, Alaska, and New England Cable News, Newton, MA. This is the 11th year KNOM has been honored with the award.

For the second year, Gabriels are being awarded for film. Winners of this year's competition are: Drama "Signs" and Family "The Rookie."
