If we follow you, it probably means we're trying to reach you to include your show! Please follow back so we can DM.

I know we've been radio silent for a while, but rest assured we are still hard at work! The contacting phase of things is taking much longer than anticipated, but review has started on shows which have already gotten back to us.

Thank you again for all the support, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime at [email protected]. We hope this event helps you all to find some new shows to check out, and meet our goal of really celebrating the unheard-of shows out there in this community!

We love this community, and we know that everyone is small compared to relative giants in the space, but, first and foremost, we're aiming to uplift the hidden gems and give the shows you've never heard of before a chance to shine.

While we know (and agree) that nearly every podcast can qualify as indie, these awards were created hoping to highlight hidden gems specifically within audio drama, and is the reason we're changing our eligibility requirements.

The audio drama community is wonderful and dedicated, but we will be adjusting our internal qualifications and culling nominations down to a manageable number, which means not every submitted show will be eligible.

While we understand this may be frustrating for those who were initially unaware of the event and who may now feel as if they're being disallowed from participating, we want to remind everyone that this is a free awards project created by a team of three, who are working on this in our spare time.

That said, we've already had to make some tough calls and wish to be as transparent as possible, along with ensuring that we're all on the same page, going forward.

Within the week, we've had to close five of our seven nomination categories.

The mods of the AuDIAs are incredibly grateful for the support and enthusiasm we've seen for this event over the last week since opening nominations - you all are absolutely wonderful, we've been amazed at the number of submissions received!

Due to volume of submissions, the Non-D&D Actual Play category will be closing on March 23rd. Slice of Life and D&D Actual Play will remain open until April 6th - unless they fill up quickly and have to close early as well, in which case we will give you plenty of warning. Go submit! audias.org

Reminder that the categories for Best Horror, Comedy, Sci-fi, and Fantasy close TODAY! We will no longer be accepting submissions for those categories after 2pm CDT, so get your submissions in now! #audiodrama

If you're interested in being a judge, please submit the application available here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F.... Any questions or comments can be directed to our askbox here on Tumblr, or via email at [email protected].

The AuDIAs is a fan-run, community-voted awards show for the hidden gems of the #audiofiction world. We're looking for volunteer judges to join our team and review submitted shows to determine which ones will be nominated for the public vote to select winners!

Despite our plan to have submissions open until April, several categories are filling up fast - Horror, Sci-fi, Comedy, and Fantasy will be closing on Thursday, March 20th! Thank you all so much for your incredible support and suggestions.

We would love to have you next year! ✨

The number of submissions in each category is soft-capped in order to preserve the sanity of our volunteer judges, who will be donating dozens of hours listening to these amazing submissions. "Actual Play" & "Slice of Life" will remain open until we have reached the maximum.

Going to use this #AudioDramaSunday to do two things:

1. Acknowledge that it's actually Monday.
2. Promote the Audio Drama Indie Awards!
