The 32 nd annual Australian Commercial Radio Awards (the ACRAs) will go ahead as a live event in Sydney in 2021.
The red-carpet event, which celebrates excellence in commercial radio broadcasting across entertainment, news, talk and sport, will be held at the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour on Saturday, October 30.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring the industry together once again,” says Commercial Radio Australia CEO Joan Warner.
“The ACRAs will be returning to Sydney for the first time since 2012 and we’re determined to make this a very special event for the radio teams across the country. We will of course have all COVID health and safety requirements in place.”
Around 900 of the industry’s major stars, personalities and executives from around Australia are expected to attend this year’s event, after last year’s ACRAs planned for the Gold Coast was cancelled.
Entries for the awards open today, and work from an extended period April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2021 will be eligible for judging.
WSFM breakfast hosts Brendan Jones and Amanda Keller took out Best On-Air Team (FM) at the 2019 ACRAs. Other previous major award winners were Ben Fordham, then 2GB drive host, who won Best Talk Presenter and 2GB’s Erin Molan & Natalie Peters, who won Best On-Air Team (AM).
