Welcome to the Independent Podcast Awards 2026!

It's our fourth year celebrating the very best of indie creators from the UK & Ireland and we can't wait to hear all the amazing shows you have been making in the last 12 months.

On this site you can find out all the information you need about entering this year's awards. We've made a few changes to previous years, so be sure to read our How To Enter and FAQs sections carefully before submitting your entries.

You have until Monday 8th June to get your entries in, but don't hang around, as it'll be here before you know it!

We'll be back at Kings Place to celebrate all the winners and nominees on Wednesday 4th November.
