Past Winners

In 2022, Radiocentre Ireland launched the inaugural Irish Audio Awards. Established by the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland and RTÉ, Radiocentre Ireland’s purpose is to showcase the unique strength and power of audio advertising. We are committed to recognising and rewarding great work, celebrating creativity in audio advertising, and championing the teams behind the winning entries.

In 2023—24, the programme awarded entrants in 9 out of 10 categories, as well as a Grand Prix winner. Last year's winners are listed below, and you can also find the full catalogue of past winners here. The Irish Audio Awards 2024–25 will open for entries on Friday the 6th of December 2024, marking the start of another exciting year of excellence in creative audio advertising.
