Next Saturday night over 100 Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) will be handed out to people in 33 categories. At least three times that number attending the Awards dinner will be disappointed to come away empty handed. But about three times that many again didn’t even make the finalist list from the record thousand+ entries that were received by organisers CRA this year. But what does it mean to actually win an ACRA? Is it Radio’s equivalent of the Oscars, the Logies or Aria Awards? Does it help you get a pay rise or find a better job? Or is it just nice to be recognised by one’s peers?
