The Audio and Radio Industry Awards (ARIAS, ARIAs, or UK ARIAs) are annual awards awarded for excellence in UK radio and audio presenting and production.[1][2] Established in 2016 by the Radio Academy, they succeeded the Radio Academy Awards, the academy's honours system of 1983 to 2014 (there were no awards for 2015).[1][2] They are awarded for productions in the previous calendar year. In contrast to many other media award ceremonies, three winners are selected by judging panels[3] for each category and graded Gold, Silver or Bronze.
In May 2019 the Young ARIAs were inaugurated at the BBC Radio Theatre in London in a ceremony hosted by BBC Radio 1's Matt Edmondson and Kiss FM host Daisy Maskell.[4] The very next year they were rebranded as the Young Audio Awards.[5][6]
