Categories and Media Requirements

This award is designed exclusively for live broadcast radio or streamed audio which, in the opinion of the judges, has made the biggest impact in the last year. Entries to this category should be from one event (for example, a single event like a Boxing Match, a competition such as the Premier League, or a tournament such as the Women’s Euro’s or Wimbledon).

The entry can consist of live coverage from the event, supporting coverage during other live programming such as preview, review and colour audio and breaking news. The judges will be looking at how the entries have used innovative and creative audio techniques and employed robust journalism to bring the occasion to their listeners.

Entries should consist of a showreel of clips lasting no more than 30 minutes in total

and must be accompanied by a supporting statement of no more than 250 words highlighting the impact their coverage of the event made in 2025. Please also include a track listing for judges to follow (not included in the 250-word supporting statement).

NOTE: Where the broadcast signal or multi-lateral coverage is generated by a “host broadcaster” - for example at a World Cup (Rugby) or Euros - the entry should demonstrate how they have enhanced the core material.
