2023 is the centenary year for audio / radio drama at the BBC. This unique genre began in February 1923 and, for 100 years, audio drama and comedy have provided enjoyment, diversion, illumination, insight and escape for listeners, evolving in approach and style as audio practitioners have responded to new ideas with ingenuity, imagination and inspiration.

This year’s awards celebrate this centenary and are dedicated to the creativity of actors, writers, directors, producers, musicians, sound designers and all who work in this vibrant art-form.
