AudioUK is joining forces with Amazon Music and Wondery once again on the Pay What You Can scheme for the APAs.
The scheme offers free or discounted entry to the awards and to the ceremony, for those who otherwise would not be able to do so due to financial constraints.
Now in its fifteenth year, the Audio Production Awards, sponsored by Audible and organised by AudioUK, recognise and celebrate outstanding achievement in podcasting and audio in 23 categories across a range of content including podcasts, audiobooks, sound design, radio, presenting and more.
Speaking about the Pay What You Can scheme, which was first introduced in 2021, Chloe Straw, Managing Director of AudioUK, said: “The ongoing partnership between AudioUK, Amazon Music and Wondery continues to be fundamental to the success of the Pay What You Can scheme.
“We’re proud to continue this collaboration and remain dedicated to making the APAs accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances.
“By doing so, we aim to support meaningful career progression through award recognition and foster greater equity across the industry.”
Chris Baughen, Head of UK Podcast Content, Wondery, added: “It’s an honour to continue our work with the Audio Production Awards by supporting the Pay What You Can scheme.
We, working alongside their team to help open up the opportunity for as many creators to participate in key industry recognition moments, is something the team and I take great pride in.”
