THE 2026 NATIONAL PODCAST AWARDS
We are the only independent Australian Podcast Awards that celebrate creativity, community and innovation regardless of masthead, genre or origin.
WHY YOU SHOULD ENTER?
It’s free
Other awards require a fee to be considered, not the NPA’s, we’re independent and 100% free to enter. So nominate yourself or your favourite podcast.
Prizes
Our mates at RODE have kindly offered prize packs for all category winners as well as a grand prize for our overall Podcast of the Year winner.
Growing your Pod
While no one does it for the prizes, a nationally recognised award puts a spotlight on all your hard work.
Learn from other podcasters
The awards will provide an event for like-minded creators to meet and collaborate.
Our Sponsors
Without our sponsors the National Podcast Awards wouldn’t be possible, fueling innovation and diversity across the audio landscape. These are Australian companies empowering Australian creators to share their stories and captivate audiences nationwide. Together, we’re shaping the future of Australian podcasting.
