About the Audies Competition:
The Audies, sponsored by the Audio Publishers Association (APA), is
the premier awards program in the United States recognizing distinction
in audiobooks and spoken word entertainment. Through The Audies award
competition, publishers are able to enter titles in various categories for
recognition of achievement. Finalists are selected and, from that group of finalists,
one winner is awarded. Finalists will be notified in February 2010, and showcased on
the APA website, to the press, and in APA materials. Winners will be recognized
at the exciting Audies gala in New York City on May 25, 2010. Two special
awards highlight outstanding achievements: The Distinguished Achievement in
Production Award goes to an audiobook that demonstrates excellence in all areas
of production, while the Audiobook of the Year recognizes the audiobook that,
through quality, innovation, marketing and sales, has had the most significant
impact on the industry. We invite you to join us in this celebration of the spoken word!
