The prize, which was set up by a group of female radio makers as an alternative to the RadioRing, is receiving a lot of support online. More than ten thousand people have already voted, co-initiator Astrid de Jong said on Tuesday in the NPO1 talk show. Op1.
“A few people who know about it said in advance: a few hundred votes would be nice,” De Jong said about the campaign. “I didn’t see this coming.”
The award for best radio woman 2023 was devised because this year no woman has a chance on RadioRing, which has been gender neutral since last year. The group of female DJs believes that the distribution between men and women in the radio world is “far from equal”.
AVROTROS, the organizer of the RadioRing, called the introduction of the prize “a shame”. “Adjusting our price is precisely intended to promote equality,” a spokesperson said on Tuesday.
