Entries submitted to the awards will be used to celebrate, recognise and promote community radio, and may be shared with partners, funders, sponsors, and externally for those purposes.

As community media organisations are businesses, and submissions are made by agents on their organisations behalf we consider this a business-to-business relationship.
