The Australian Podcast Awards inspire and motivate podcasters, bringing them together to celebrate their achievements and find ways to help Australian podcasters reach wider audiences


We are the annual celebration of all forms of Australian podcasting


Every year, we cater to the diverse and rapidly expanding Australian podcast industry by awarding achievement in a carefully chosen set of podcast categories, using an expert-led robust judging process, and culminating in an event that celebrates the community and brings everyone closer together.

In 2020 partners included Acast, Omny Studio, iHeart Podcast Network Australia, Spotify, Nova Entertainment & more

In 2020 we expanded the scope of our event beyond a single awards ceremony, with consumer newsletters, viral Listeners’ Choice Award and a podcast conference - Podcast Day 24.


Sponsorship opportunities range from category naming rights, to naming rights over different aspects of the event, as well as the entire event itself.

  • Sustained exposure for your brand to thousands of podcast producers via our newsletter, website, awards submission process, and social media channels
  • Engage influencers around targeted genres such as sport, business, arts & entertainment, current affairs and more
  • Engage with Australia's best podcasters and media producers at our gala ceremony
We engage podcasters via social media, newsletter, website and submissions platform. Our community ranges from independent podcasters, to experienced broadcast/network teams. 

  • Align your brand with high-value press and broadcast coverage for this emerging media sector
  • Visibility through social media sharing by our participants and attendees
  • Reach podcast listeners through podcasters mentioning your brand in association with the awards on their podcasts, digital channels and social networks
Buzz around the awards grows in the months leading up to our event, when the Australian Podcast Awards gains national exposure, including major broadcast and print media.
