The nominations for the first ever BBC Audio Drama awards have been announced ahead of the ceremony to reveal the winners later this month.

The vast majority of shortlisted entries come from audio broadcast on BBC Radios 3 and 4, although there are a handful of non-BBC entries up for prizes too as the awards were not restricted to just BBC entrants.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony to be held on Sunday 29th January 2012 in the Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House in central London and presented by actor David Tennant. In conjunction with the Society of Authors and The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, The Imison and Tinniswood Awards will also be announced and presented by playwright and Guild President, David Edgar.
