Awarded for	Outstanding work by Western Australian media workers
Presented by	Western Australian Journalists Association
First awarded	1987
Website	https://www.meaa.org/meaa-media/state-media-awards/wa-media-awards/

The WA Media Awards are presented annually by the Western Australian Journalists Association.

The awards recognise outstanding work by Western Australian reporters, photographers, graphic designers, cartoonists, sub-editors, television camera people and other media workers.

The awards are generally judged by senior media workers, as well as academics, former media workers, judges, businesspeople and others. The qualifying period is usually the 12 months from the beginning of September to the end of August. The 2012 awards were presented at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on 3 November 2012 by Craig Smart from Channel 10 and Emmy Kubainski from Channel 7. The 2012 awards were hosted by The West Australian media workers Kate Ferguson and Daniel Hatch. The 2011 awards were presented by Matt Tinney and Narelda Jacobs at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth on 5 November 2011.

The most prestigious individual awards are the Daily News Centenary Prize (informally known as the Gold Award or the WA Journalist of the Year), which, like the Gold Walkley, is presented to the stand-out winner of all the awards; the Arthur Lovekin Prize in Journalism; and the Clarion Prize, which is awarded for outstanding achievement by a member of the Australian Journalists Section of the WA Branch of the MEAA.

Journalists to have been highly successful have been Steve Pennells (19 awards), Gary Adshead (19), Paige Taylor (17), John Flint (17), Sean Cowan (14), and Colleen Egan (9).^[1] Pennells, Egan and Flint have also won Walkley Awards.

Adshead has won four WA Journalist of the Year awards and Cowan three, though they shared two of those, while Egan and Victoria Laurie have each won two, one of which was shared.
