The CrimeCon CLUE Awards are built to honor and recognize projects that exhibit a strong commitment to Leadership, Understanding, and Excellence. In our second year, we will spotlight exemplary titles across TV, documentary film, podcasts, and publishing.


The CLUE Awards banquet will be held on Saturday, September 23rd at the World Center Marriott Hotel in Orlando, FL as part of CrimeCon 2023, an immersive three-day experience expected to draw nearly 5,000 true crime fans, creators, and media, as well as a world-class roster of speakers and experts. Since its launch in 2017, CrimeCon has connected thousands of true crime enthusiasts with the mysteries, cases, and issues that intrigue them.


Nominees and winners of CLUE Awards will be determined by CrimeCon’s selection committee, comprised of a wide range of producers, network and streaming executives, and other creatives and industry leaders, representing all sectors of the true crime genre. In 2022, the committee included high-level executives and acclaimed creatives from companies including NBCU, Spotify, Discovery, People Magazine, Simon & Schuster, Anonymous Content, HLN, Wondery, Campfire Studios, Law & Crime Network and iHeartMedia, among others.

The 2023 jury will be announced in the coming weeks.
