The category, which was introduced in 2020, aims to recognise individuals operating behind the scenes – the unsung heroes – for their contributions to radio in South Africa.

Taryn Westoby, head of Arena Events which owns the Radio Awards, says, “The success of radio stations often relies on the hard work and commitment of people who operate in the background, and who are generally not the familiar faces and voices that audiences come to know. They’re the individuals that keep the wheels turning and morale high and know how to get things done.”

How to cast your nominations

• Nominations can only be made by the station manager, with nominees being 18 years or older.
• All station employees are eligible for a nomination, irrespective of whether they’re full-time, part-time, or temporary employees.
• No more than three nominations may be submitted per station.
• To receive a secure link to the online nomination portal, station managers can contact Michelle Rodrigues at rodriguesm@arena.africa.
• Thereafter they can complete the nomination form by providing a 200-word motivation, before submitting the entry via the portal.
• Station managers have until 20 May to submit their nominations for this category.

The Radio Awards advisory board will adjudicate nominations based on the following criteria: credibility, fellowship, work commitment, and personal performance as an unsung hero.
