The Audio Production Awards, organised by the Radio Independents Group, celebrates and recognises producers across the industry for the content they create for radio, podcasts and more.
With a wide range of categories and new categories added for this year, even more producers will be honoured for the key role they play in the industry and bringing audio content to life.
Arqiva are sponsoring three of the Award categories including Best Presenter - Speech, Best Presenter - Music and Best Station Sound Producer.
Richard Johnston, Head of Commercial Radio for Arqiva said:
Were delighted to be supporting the APAs. There are so many talented producers across the industry and it is important to celebrate the key role they play in making radio the vibrant platform it is today.
