The Scottish Podcast Awards are an annual celebration created to recognise and elevate the talent, creativity, and diversity of Scotland’s podcasting and audio community. Founded by Sixty Steps Productions, the awards aim to spotlight Scottish creative industries and strengthen Scotland’s position as a modern creative hub. The main purpose of the awards is to celebrate work that contributes to or engages with Scotland’s cultural and creative landscape, whether through creators, stories, or audiences. While rooted in Scotland’s thriving audio scene, the awards also welcome entries from around the globe, reflecting Scotland’s engagement with the wider international podcast sector.
Entries are assessed by an independent judging panel made up of media professionals, cultural leaders, industry experts, and podcast and audio consumers, ensuring fairness, diversity of perspectives, and knowledge. Submissions are evaluated based on creativity, originality, production quality, storytelling, audience engagement, cultural impact, and innovation, emphasizing both artistic and technical excellence.
Categories span multiple genres and formats, capturing both established series and emerging talent across the podcasting landscape. The awards aim to spotlight exceptional creative achievement, celebrate innovation, and amplify voices that contribute to the diversity and cultural impact of audio storytelling in Scotland.
