This year, the Audies see the return of the Audie Award for Spanish Language, granted for the last time 10 years ago. The winners will be revealed in a virtual gala this year, which will stream online March 22 at 8:30 pm eastern and will be hosted by John Leguizamo. The Audies also invite celebrity judges, and this year’s panel included Jennifer Egan, Tommy Orange, David Sedaris, Jerry Craft, V.E. Judges and panelists come from a wide range of backgrounds, including book sellers, librarians, educators, journalists, bloggers, and more, and they listen to hundreds of hours of audio to put forward the best of the best. The Audie Awards honor the best works in audio, and this year, finalists were chosen from over 1,500 submissions. In the last few years, audiobooks have gained more and more listeners, with 2020 holding the record for the number of titles produced. The 25 categories include the expected fiction and non-fiction categories, as well as awards for best narrator and multi-voice performance and more. The Audio Publisher’s Association has announced the finalists for the 2021 Audie Awards, which recognize the best audiobooks released in 2020.
