On March 7, winners of the 14th Seiyuu Awards were announced via Nippon Cultural Broadcasting's internet radio program, "Chou! A&G+." To protect the participants and limit the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the executive committee decided to suspend or postpone the live ceremony which is normally held at the Nippon Cultural Broadcasting (JOQR) Media Plus Hall in Tokyo.
Winners are listed with their respective talent agency and an example of anime they acted in during 2019 (not necessarily why they were given the award).
