We are pleased to announce our stellar list of jurors that will judge the 2021 Radio & Audio and Podcast entries.

 

As the show that was Created for Creatives, LIA has always been lauded for its caliber of judges and its completely transparent judging system. The 2021 juries, as in the past 35 years, are made up of the world’s most celebrated creative minds whose high standards will set the bar for great creative ideas and executions to be duly recognized and awarded this year.

 

“Every year, we get the best radio and audio people in the world together in a room, albeit this year it will be a virtual room. I am very excited to see what work wins this year. Despite it being a tough time for brands, radio is, arguably, the most universal and easily accessible medium especially in crisis situations. With radio and podcast listenership up, worldwide, we know that the work that will be awarded by this jury will be work that resonates with us is surprising ways,” stated Barbara Levy, LIA President.
