EGA – A Win at 2025 Hermes Awards

Best Audio Description for a Series – “Bluey” on CBeebies for BBC Children’s and Education.

The Entertainment Globalization Association (EGA) hosted the 2025 Hermes Awards for Localization Excellence in Los Angeles at the start of April. Earlier in the year the nominations had been announced and a programme I had scripted and narrated the Audio Description for at Red Bee Media Ltd., was shortlisted in the category for ‘Best Audio Description for a Series’.

The front cover of the 'The Reteller - The 2025 Hermes Award Edition'. The Reteller wording runs down the right side of the page and the wording 'The 2025 Hermes Award Edition' in in the top left corner. The lettering is a pale orangy yellow colour. The cover itself is made up of the posters for each nominated programme or film.

The programme was an episode of a multi-award winning children’s TV show for BBC Studios, called ‘Bluey: Sleepytime’. All nominees were invited to write an article for a special Hermes Award edition of The Reteller Magazine by Entertainment Globalization Association, I wrote mine with guidence from my colleague and good friend, Marie Campbell (Audio Description Excellence Lead at Red Bee Media)

Earlier this month the Hermes Awards ceremony took place in Los Angeles and I am excited to say that I won! I was actually working in Phoenix, Arizona at the time and so a colleague collected the award. I am proud to be a member of an incredibly talented and dedicated Audio Description team at Red Bee Media Ltd. Crafting Audio Description is an important part of my working life and something I have had the privilege to do for over 25 years. To have my work recognised with this prestigious international award is truly a great honour.

Below it across the centre of the square in gold lettering is '2025 Award Winner' and below that in black, 'Best Audio Description for a Series'. Then in the right is a gold square and in the middle of that is the logo for Red Bee Media, which is a red square with 'Red Bee' in the middle in white lettering and the middle 'E's of Red and Bee allign to form a sort of ladder or road crossing type symbol.
