32nd Australian Commercial Radio Awards move to 2021

The 32nd Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) will now be celebrated in 2021, with event organiser and industry body Commercial Radio Australia making the decision to pause proceedings for 2020 and bring the event back bigger and better next year.

The decision to cancel the ACRAs comes after a detailed examination of the possibility of undertaking the event in a virtual format in 2020, in response to Government restrictions on interstate travel and event size as a result of COVID-19. Unfortunately after considering the options available to us, it was determined that a virtual event would not be able to do the awards justice.

We know radio teams are working as hard as ever in these times to keep Australians informed and entertained, while also navigating the uncertainty of the situation. We look forward to putting on something special when we can celebrate the hard work and resilience of our members in person in 2021.  

Work from 2020 will be eligible to be entered into the 2021 ACRAs.
