The Charles Parker Prize 2024
for the Best Student Audio Feature
The Charles Parker Awards – named in honour of one of radio’s greatest documentary pioneers – have established an unparalleled reputation for excellence in radio and audio feature production by young people, and many of our winners have gone on to carve out successful professional careers in radio and audio production.
The Trust can now announce that the judging panel for the Prize chose ten nominees, who were invited to the award ceremony at the core of the Charles Parker Day 2024 in Liverpool University on Friday 22 March. The final decision on which five features will be selected for broadcast was made by BBC Radio 4’s Commissioning Editor, Hugh Levinson, and was announced on the Day - see press release for details.
The Gold Award winner and the four other winning features will be commissioned by the BBC through the independent radio production company Soundscape Productions, co-ordinators of the Charles Parker Prize since 2010, and will be broadcast in the BBC Radio 4 New Storytellers strand during the summer.
See below for details of these and previous winners.
