We're all about

Those incredible moments you create

The joy of podcasting lies in its intimacy. In the atmosphere created between the host, guest and listener. In the moments of incredible sensitivity, humour or honesty that keep people engrossed. The International Women’s Podcast Awards celebrate these intimate moments of podcasting brilliance, and the women and non-binary folk that make them happen. We are unlike other awards. We don’t look at the genre your podcast is in, and we don’t care how many downloads you’ve had.

We are looking for your exceptional moments of audio brilliance. The ones that make you most proud of your podcast. The ones you’d chose to show off to others.

You don’t need to be a stand-up comedian to produce a moment of comedy gold, or a fiction writer to produce a moment of cliff-hanger drama (although if you are, you are also welcome!) – whether you’re a new podcaster or a seasoned pro, we’d love to hear your work.

We believe in increasing equity for all

So in 2022, we launched a new initiative, The Amazon Music and Wondery Awards Fund.

The Amazon Music and Wondery Awards Fund was a new addition to the IWPA 2022, making the event accessible to more people than ever before by providing complimentary tickets both for the in-person event at The Conduit, and the global live stream online to those for whom costs would be prohibitive, and who would otherwise not be able to attend.

This was a big step forward in the endeavour of both The Skylark Collective and Amazon Music to continually improve accessibility in podcasting for everyone, regardless of where you are in the world. Our aim is to make the International Women’s Podcast Awards a warm, welcoming, joyful place where everyone is welcome, and we hope to repeat this offering in 2023.
