About Us
Who We Are
The Virginias AP Broadcasters group is an independent association comprised of local radio and television members of The Associated Press from throughout Virginia and West Virginia.
Annual Awards
The group honors important broadcast journalism through our annual awards contest. Three divisions compete in nearly 30 categories. The divisions include Television I (Large Market), Television II (Small Market) and Radio.
Scholarships
The VAPB offers a $1000 scholarship annually to a student pursuing a degree in broadcast journalism. The student must be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies at a college or university in Virginia or West Virginia at the time of the application deadline. The VAPB Scholarship Committee will select one student from among all qualified applications received by the deadline.
