The TCF Audio Luminary Award is presented annually to an individual who has made significant and on-going contributions to radio and/or audio production. Not only has this person left a profound mark on the audio field, he or she continues to be a source of inspiration to others. Each year a
committee of producers joins the Third Coast Festival staff in selecting the
winner from a slate of nominations submitted by radio fans, producers and other
radio professionals worldwide.
