The 65 finalists across 13 Awards categories were announced at an official ceremony in Malaga.
Around 25% of nominees come from independent producers; another 25% from media outlets, and around 50% from audio platforms or leading podcast producers in the Spanish-speaking world.
The winners will be announced in March, with the gala ceremony to be held on May 3 at the Soho CaixaBank Theater in Malaga.
PRISA Audio sets the gold standard in the industry by clocking up 574 million downloads and 971 million listening hours last year – a year-on-year increase of 39% and 17%, respectively.
The figures, provided by Triton Digital’s Streaming Metrics Monthly Ranker, are testament to PRISA’s leadership as an audio producer.
With 1,200 podcasts, and partnerships with Podimo, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify and Penguin Random House, PRISA Audiotops the weekly aggregator charts with podcasts such as Nadie sabe Nada, Estirando el Chicle and Hoy en El País.
The audio division's advertising revenue grew 43% over the previous year.
The plan links its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) commitments with the company's business strategy to generate greater value and growth opportunities.
It is focused on three key commitments: the real and positive impact on people through education (Santillana) and news (Prisa Media); responsible management of employees, supply chain and the environment; and committed and transparent governance.
PRISA thus reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development as a driver of social and climate transformation, and to continue promoting equal opportunities and the progress of a democratic society.
