The 19th annual Gold Siren Awards show is organised by Commercial Radio & Audio.

Siren Awards finalists for 2023 came from over 70 agencies across Australia, with awards for audio innovation, best radio ad, best radio ad campaign, a client award and the best of the best in terms of craft – the production qualities and skills that make great radio ads.

“The 30-minute Siren Awards show will be packed with great content and will celebrate some of the best radio ads that have run in Australia this year,” says CRA CEO Ford Ennals, who’ll feature on the show with Ralph van Dijk, Chairman of the Sirens Creative Council.

Mitch Churi, host of The Night Show and co-host of The Pick Up on the KIIS network says “Nat and I are excited to co-host The 19th annual Siren Awards – which are the Aussie radio ad industry’s Oscars! There won’t be any envelope-gates or interminable speeches, but there will be recognition of the crème de la crème of radio ad creativity, with absolutely fantastic prizes.”

Nat Penfold, KIIS announcer and Kyle and Jackie O producer adds “I know from working with Kyle and Jackie O that our listeners are our friends. They engage with our socials, trust us and demand to be entertained. Great radio ads help us do that, and we can’t wait to showcase the best from across Australia.”
