New York, NY – January 10, 2018: World-wide since 1982, New York Festivals International Radio Program Awards is now open for entries.

For 2018, New York Festivals offered a category reorganization addressing the growing spectrum of platform and genres. The competition added additional categories with respect to today’s radio industry.

“From podcasts to audio books and every length in-between, today’s radio audiences are thoroughly invested in listening. Our new categories embrace that dynamic participation and emphasize the wide range of engaging topics storytellers everywhere are exploring,” said Rose Anderson, Vice President and Executive Director of New York Festivals International Radio Program Awards.

New categories for 2018 include: Best Digital Documentary, Best Digital Special Event, Best Original Music and Miniseries. The competition also expanded the number of categories focusing on journalism to include Best Extended News Coverage, Best Drama Feature, Best Music Feature, Best News Feature, and Best Sports Feature.

“When you talk about the media landscape, there is no doubt that Digital has been transformative in every way imaginable. So, this year, we renamed the existing Online and Satellite groups to Digital and augmented that content area with Best Digital Documentary and Best Digital Special Event. Our Advisory Board has been a great help in making sure we continue to recognize innovation and excellence,” said Ms. Anderson.
