Yes, we accept limited series, provided it is clearly identified as a mini-series.

Video podcasts are not eligible, including formats like YouTube shows, Twitch streams, and similar platforms. However, if your show includes both audio and video, you may submit the audio version of your podcast.

We believe mainstream podcasts would have an unfair advantage due to their financial resources and high-profile celebrity hosts.

Podcasts with high-profile guests are still eligible for consideration.

Episodes must have been released within the last 12 months prior to the submission date.

Early bird submissions cost $15, and regular submissions are $25.

Yes, you can submit your podcast into one additional category. The first entry is at the regular price, and the second entry is half-price.

Winners will be announced during an online awards event. Each category will have four finalists with one winner.

Winners will receive a customized, engraved plaque to showcase their achievement. Digital icons will also be provided for the websites and/or publications of winners and finalists.

A strong entry showcases the best audio and production quality possible. Select an episode with a standout moment—something brilliant, hilarious, or particularly poignant. Highlight what makes your podcast unique compared to others in its category and ensure the submission presents your hosts in the best light. Imagine listening as someone unfamiliar with your show—would the episode keep them engaged from start to finish?

Upon submission, you will see a confirmation page with your entry number and receive a confirmation email. If you don’t receive the email within 24 hours, please contact us for assistance.
