IWPA Shortlists 2024
21st May 2024 2024-06-17 19:24IWPA Shortlists 2024
Wow! What a breadth of work we received again this year.
2024 saw a return to just 10 categories, but we still received over 700 entries from 33 different countries, with almost a third of all entries utilising the IWPA Bursary Fund.
Entrants had up to 10 minutes to impress the judging panel in any of the following categories, and, as usual, there was no restriction on what genre or ‘type’ of podcast can enter each category – as we often say, you don’t have to be a comedy podcast to create a hilarious moment of podcasting gold. Fiction, non-fiction, narrative, interview, panel discussion, investigative journalism or anything else: all were welcome, and we always look forward to hearing the work submitted.
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO….Here are the nominees for the 2024 International Women’s Podcast Awards!
