Launching this year’s competition, CCB Chairman, the Rt Rev Trevor Williams, said: “The Church can’t exist without communication, and it can’t thrive without good communication. So let’s celebrate those who work hard to tell the Good News in some shape or form. Their commitment shouldn’t go unacknowledged.’
