2022 CMAA Excellence Awards

The 2022 CMAA Excellence awards ceremony was held at Mantra on View on the Gold Coast on 13 September. This kicked off a landmark conference for CMAA. After two years of gathering online due to COVID-19, CONNECT22 was CMAA’s first hybrid conference, with people gathered both in person and via livestream to explore this year’s theme of “truth, goodness, beauty” from 13-15 September.

One of the Legacy Awards, for outstanding contribution to media, was awarded to an entire family – the Daniel family, who have so far committed 45 years to community radio. Brothers Terry, Richard and Glenn Daniel began a home-grown radio station 2DD in their bedrooms as children, drilling holes through the floor to run cables into their makeshift studios. Since Glenn’s death in 2021, the family has carried on this legacy with Glenn’s son Mark and Richard’s daughter Mel also working in radio.
