GBM Leads the Pack in 2025 CBU Media Awards with Record Number of Nominations
Greater Belize Media (GBM) has emerged as the top nominee in this year’s 36th annual Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) Media Awards. With a staggering 103 entries submitted across multiple categories, GBM outpaced competitors from across the Caribbean, including Jamaica’s media giant RJRGLEANER Communications Group, which secured 95 nominations.
GBM’s nominations span both traditional and digital platforms, including Best Documentary, Best Magazine, and top categories for News, Sports, Investigative Reporting, Entertainment, and Commercial content. GBM is also recognised for impactful journalism on key social and environmental issues, earning nods in all three Child Rights Champion categories and for coverage of mangroves, coral reefs, healthy nutrition policy, land degradation, and financial literacy. Additionally, the network stands out for its celebration of Caribbean arts and culture, and its behind-the-scenes talent received nominations for Best Videographer, Best Producer – TV, and Best Director – TV.
The announcement comes as part of a record-breaking year for the CBU Media Awards. A total of 551 entries were submitted by 30 media organisations across 11 countries and territories, plus one pan-regional entity, marking a 13% increase in submissions compared to last year.
GBM’s strong showing was further highlighted in the People’s Choice category, which saw 13,339 total votes cast via social media across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Belize was among the five territories with entries in the newly revamped short-form digital content format in areas such as News, Comedy, Music, and Education.
