Built from within the industry

exists because audio has outgrown the way it’s been recognised. We’re here to set a benchmark built by people inside the industry.

where it

started

Sonarr began with an observation from the inside:
The audio industry had outgrown the way it was being recognised.

Different awards for different mediums, with some barely getting any acknowledgement. Awards came and went. Some too expensive. Some too commercial. Few built to last.

And through it all, the people doing the work — often independently — went without a consistent, credible platform to celebrate them.

Sonarr was created to shift that.

THE VALUES

BEHIND IT

Access without compromise

Great work stands on equal footing regardless of budget or backing.

Human-led, not corporate-led

Built from within. Every decision grounded in the industry’s integrity, not external agendas.

Respect for creator, craft and culture

Every role in production matters. Every sound and narrative shapes how people think and feel.

Recognition that endures

What happens on the night carries forward – into careers, collaborations, and the culture.
