The National Media Awards Foundation is proud to present a showcase of works by award-winning Indigenous creators. Each of these creators has won or been nominated for a National Magazine Award, Digital Publishing Award or NMA:B2B award, and has gone on to produce further high-quality work in the fields of journalism, visual arts, creative writing and more.
In our Indigenous Showcase, you may peruse the creators' biographies, read their award-winning work and view their most recent projects. If you’re an editor or publisher looking to work with one of our featured creators, please reach out to us and we'll facilitate an introduction. In May 2023, we will be extending our resource to include all BIPOC award-winning creators.
If you are an NMAF-winning or nominated BIPOC creator and would like to be included in our showcase, please send an email.
