After setting a date for the fourth annual event, the 2024 International Women’s Podcast Awards is now accepting entries. The event is scheduled for June 19 at the Institution of Engineering and Technology London: Savoy Place.
This year, participants can submit entries across ten categories, including the newly introduced Moment of Factual Clarity category, designed to recognize podcasts that excel in clear and informative communication. This addition reflects feedback from the global podcasting community and aims to highlight podcasts that effectively educate and entertain through clarity and simplicity.
Popular categories from the previous year, such as the Moment of Compelling Storytelling and Moment of Podcasting Panache in a Language Other Than English, will also return.
Entrants can register on the IWPA website.
IWPA founder Naomi Mellor said, “We are delighted to have opened entries for this year’s International Women’s Podcast Awards. We were blown away by the number and quality of entries received in 2023, and cannot wait to hear the audio submitted this year. We love to celebrate and showcase work that’s been produced, as podcasting is a powerful medium that provides a platform for people to tell their story, showcase their work, and have their voice heard. We encourage all podcasters to submit their entries and be a part of this event. The IWPA Bursary will also once again be open, offering complimentary entries and tickets to anyone, worldwide.”
Amazon Music Global Head of Podcast Industry Craig Strachan added, “We’re thrilled to team up with the International Women’s Podcast Awards again this year and to continue our support for the Bursary Fund. Providing accessibility to key industry events for those that might otherwise find submitting or attending cost prohibitive is really important to the team and I, and we can’t wait to see who takes home awards this year.”
