ABOUT HONORS COUNCIL
Black Media Honors Council is a not-for-profit that represents a diversity of industry creatives and media professionals. Our membership focuses on service, advocacy and recognition of the media industry.
We invite you to dig deeper into the work of our community. As you explore, we hope you are inspired to be an active member.
WHY JOIN HONORS COUNCIL
Like the Black Media Honors™️, Honors Council membership is culture-driven and peer-reviewed on an annual cycle.
To be considered for an invitation to join:
- Get two strong recommendations from media industry peers.
- After your recommendations are received by the Council, tell us more about your career*. Profiles must be complete by the deadline provided to be considered for that year.
*Candidates will receive an email with a link and candidate code to complete the candidate profile.
A new member submission includes two recommendations and a complete profile. (Profiles can only be completed after recommendations are received.) New member submissions are considered by the Honor Council’s Review Panel each spring.
If approved by the Honor Council, candidates are invited to join the Honors Council by June 30 and have until that year’s Black Media Honors™️ voting deadline to accept.
The Honors Council approves membership at its sole discretion based on its assessment of the submission.
